Not My reel. lol In for repair. Reel is in a zip lock bag for now. I know that bug is long dead but still kinda unsettling. Should I let the owner know I found it or never mention it?

I wouldn't mention it to the owner. Nothing good will come of that. It looks like a cockroach to me, but I can't tell the size. Bedbugs are small, less than a cm long.

So I'm assuming you got the bugs out of the reel.
