I needed a new handle and a couple other minor parts for my six year old Fin-Nor Ahab spinning reel. After negative results local searches, I contacted Fin-Nor with some doubts as to my success since they were somewhat defunct for a little while now. They are now owned by W.C. Bradley Co. (Van Staal, Zebco, Fin-Nor, Quantum, et al). They were extremely helpful, generous and informative. For the cost of shippping, they are sending the parts free of charge.
The girl I talked to said that they have a new line of Fin-Nor reels coming out soon including some redesigned Ahab Spinners.
I know the models like mine are heavy, but beyond that, I can say nothing bad about that reel at all. It's been a solid performer as long as I've owned it and I'm pleased that W.C. Bradley has helped keep it that way with good customer relations.
Just thought I'd pass that along.
