Just a quick note to thank u for all the good advice n tips u provide for free, i have been fishing offshore for better part of 30 years, allways maintained my own gear, well i have learned ive been doing somthings right and alot wrong lol, so far this winter have totally revamped 23 reels off my boat, and its become like a drug lol, just did one reel (from a calif manufacture) that if i didnt remove seals from bearings would of turned into ugly mess-bone dry...never have opened up sealed bearings before , now i open them all. thanks again.....Mike N
Mike,

a few bucks in the pocket dont hurt,helps pay for coffee. lol
welcome! you know, i had a kid that worked at the harbor at west palm beach, florida. he wanted to ask me about fishing reel repair but was afraid that he would cut into my business, um, here in california. you know, if both of you fixed just the reels that came out of your marina, you would still never run out of reels!
Welcome from the left coast Mike. ;D
ok 27 reels n rods done of my own tackle, new line, windons made, now what am i supposed to do now, thank U ALAN, im a wreck need more reels to tinker with !!!!...lol and a shout out to Dawn at smooth drag, , she sent me some big carbo washers to make my own drags on a old everol i have, was going to have to put it to rest but glued on 2 new disks and had to cut down some of the floating springs to fit it all, and shes up n running, a vintage early 70's reel that has taking theshers up to 400lbs and she will live to take another....thanks guys
