Reel Repair

[Sea Dangles]

I know of 2 people who had very high end Jap spinning reels serviced at Buckos last offseason that were extremely upset at the lack of quality in service.I would recommend Edwards bait and tackle.

Jim:

I send all my Shimanos to "Shimano". $35 per reel and they do a complete overhaul. Go to: Repair Services

you will find a repair form (PDF). Just fill it out and send with $35. They repaired 2, 400s I have. Minor stuff such as the drag slipping and the level wind not working correctly. They went over and above what was needed and replaced some screws, etc.

mike bucko, ernie, and the rest of the staff are the best. Buckos

I would have no problem with the Abus, Calcutta, or Penns and such going to Buckos. I have only had one problem with a reel they did over the years (oddly enough, two identical Abu 6000s and one was great the other nossomuch).

Not sure which higher end Jap reels Dangles is meaning but if it was high end Shimano I'd go to Shimano and high end Daiwa not sure where I would go, whether Buckos or someone else.

River's End does reel repair and is authorized for VS (at least)

SWE has self repair stuff for VS.
