REEL REPAIR
 

All my penns and mid-range shimanos I will have the local guy clean and service but I've got a couple of stellas I would like to get serviced buy someone who really knows them. I wanted to send them back to CA but it does not look like the main office does service. (At least I could not find the address to send it)

The booklet says sent it to the local service agent...Looking thru their website, Bucko's is listed as a dealer/service but it appears that Sea-Isle in NY also is and has techs that specialize in various reels. I have bought parts from bucko's in the past but have not had them service stuff. It has been 20 years since I have been in sea-isle in Freeport, NY and I recall that was quite a place even back then, dealing in lots of big game repairs.
Anyway anyone have any experinece with higher-end spinning gear at either of these places recently?

Not spniners but I did have my internationals serviced by Buckos, once. They seemed to do a good job but were substantially more expensive than any other place I've ever used, including Penn.

PM on the way

My internationals I've sent to penn and they come back great at a very reasonable price. But these stellas are not the popular and to be honest most shops probably will not have all the parts.
I noticed on the web site that sea-isle has 48 hour return on stellas..I figure they gotta have the parts.
Actually there is not much wrong with them so I am worrying over nothing.
