    Fishing Reel cleaning

    Looking for someone that cleans and repairs reels, I have one I'd like cleaned. Anybody know someone? Willing to ship if needed. TIA

    I have always shipped mine back to the manufacturer.

      Pipeline tackle does an awesome job on reels. They are in Alabama

        Im not interested, but just wanted to say, I cleaned reels when I was in my low 20s down on the coast to support my fishing habit. Took a few of mine apart and used Southwest Fishing Tackle in Dallas when I needed parts.

        Its really, really easy. Schematics are readily available online if you get lost. Clean w a brass brush, grease the slow moving parts. One drop of oil on each bearing and they'll sing like new.

          There's a feller in Weatherford that does both reel cleaning and rod repair. But I can't remember his name. I'll try to find out tomorrow.

              I used “the tacklesmith” I think you can probably google him. He did a great job when I used him.

                Save your money and buy a new one. I've never had any luck with repairs done on reels

                    Huh? What if he has a $200 reel? If I bought a new reel each time mine was dunked in salt while fishing the surf, I'd be a fool. It's easy to clean and replace bearings on a reel, especially with schematics you can find on the manufacturers website.

                          I'm just telling you my experience. I've fished in the Salt my whole life. I have 200 dollar reels in boxes in my shop that were repaired and they are never like when I bought them

                            I buy my reel parts from him. We primarily surf fish, which is about as hard as you can be on reels. Constant sand and lots of spray and the occasional dunking in the surf. We run mostly cheaper Penn Rival level winds. Super simple to break down, and I keep a stock of basically consumable spares- line guide, worm gear shield, worm drive gear and pawl. I learned a long time ago I had to work on these about every 3rd or 4th trip depending on the conditions. I can pretty much do them on autopilot now.

                            What kind of reel do you have? A little patience and Youtube along with the right tools and I'd bet you can do it yourself.
