Reel Evaluation Fee

All reels are subject to a $10.00 inspection fee. We disassemble and examine the reel to determine the reels condition. Our inspection will find out which parts maybe needed. A parts list is created with cost.   The inspection will reveal the level of cleaning, light, medium, heavy, extra heavy. Sometimes your favorite reel has damage so bad it cannot be repaired or sometimes the necessary parts to fix your reel are no longer available.  Once we have your reels condition we will call and explain our findings. At that time you have the option to continue with the clean, service, and or upgraded or have the reel returned. Authorize us to continue and the Evaluation fee will be deducted from your total.

How long will it take to service your reel? That is a good question.  

Even with a million parts there are occasions the part needed is not in stock and has to be ordered. If the part is located on the East coast the travel time is 5 to 10 business day via first class mail.

If your reel is just dirty (light, medium) needing cleaning, oiling, lube and adjusting the normal turnaround time is 2 to 3 days,  (heavy, extra heavy) 3 to 5 plus travel time.
