Now that I bit the bullet on a Kayak, I expect to get back on some fresh water for the first time in probably 12 years, which means I have some reels that will need some TLC once I find them. I've found Bucko's to be less than satisfactory in the past and I swear they put on tons of grease to insure a return visit the next season. Anyone have any recommendations for sending in some older Abu conventional s? All my spinning gear was in use in the salt and in good shape, but I'd like to pay the money to get a few conventional s service right.

I have always had a good experience with Martha at Surfland in Plum Isand.

Try talkin to pete belsan over at belsan bait and tackle in scituate.
Back when i was up that way ( 10 yrs ago) he had a guy from mass bass assn that did all the reel service for his shop. Dont remember the guy's name ( bob maybe?) but he was the best
Buckos sucks. Not what they used to be

Dave Morton is unique in that he owns a machine shop. If your reel needs a part that is no longer available, no problem. Dave will just make a new one.

Some parts do in tomorrow for an ambassadeur and done with it,,, phew!
Next is reverse all the lines, most are a year old
