Reel Repair

Anyone know a shop I can take a Penn reel to in Rhode Island? Close to Warwick preferably.

While we're at it, I'm getting annoyed with my Penn 9500SS

When I'm reeling in, my handle will occasionally hit the side of my bailwire.. is there a simple solution to fixing this??

Jugstah,
I had the same issue with my 650.

The handle is bent. Bend it back out.

Most likely the handle mine take alot of abuse. I would say that the handle is more likely to bend in than the bail wire bend out.

I just held it tight at the connection, and gently bent it back, then I checked that rotation cleared the bail wire. Done.

Good Luck
