How it works

Reel service in four steps

  1. Drop off

    Bring the reel or rod in during store hours. We tag it and give you a ticket.

  2. Inspect & quote

    If parts are needed beyond the standard service, we call with a quote first.

  3. Service

    Strip, clean, grease, replace worn parts and test the drag.

  4. Pick up

    We text or email when it is ready. Unclaimed items are held for 90 days.
