I've had dealings with Jerry Foran as well. I don't know about HJ, but I can surely recommend Jerry Foran. 
This is one he made for me. An old school 6500 c3 ct, with Abec 5 bearings in the side plates.

imo , he does what he says
as long as he has the parts in stock the turn around is good , but anything i have had done was done right there while i waited .
the othe question is what are you looking to have done ??
most of the 'upgrades ' are 'bolt-on' .
and again ,imo, if you are going to have a reel upgraded ; you need to know how to tune it and service it yourself .

See Mike at M&D in Wareham. There isn't a whole lot of tricking to be done on a Abu. Bearings, pinion and gears are all available locally and most times you can wait for the reel. Or if it is parts only Buckos is closer to you.
In my opinion, there isn't a whole lot a shop can really do for you if you don't know what is being done and how to use it. Usually the only problem castin a Abu is the person casting it.  The only conversion that I would send my reel out for, would be to mag it if it doesn't come that way. Other than that the only "tricking" needed is a good matched rod and smooth cast.  |
