Silly Question
OK, I've got a pile of high-end broken reels. I have no idea what's wrong
with any of them, but if a reel malfunctions it joins this exclusive club in
my garage. Mostly Daiwa's & Shimano's. Casting & spinning.Where can I send to have them fixed & reconditioned? Got a link? I'd love to get them back in perfect order again. Warren

| Send the Shimanos here: http://www.lakeforktacklerepair.com/
Connie is one the best there is on Shimano repairs. OR here: http://www.buckcreekrodandreel.com/Main.htm You can put the Daiwas out on the curb. ;-) Actually, both can work on the Daiwas too. Brad Coovert

| I dunno about that. Some of the best overall reels I have had are Daiwas.
Probably the best pitching reel I have is a Daiwa 150i. Thats putting heads
up against my Shimanos Curado, Pflueger President, and Quantums Accurist
400s and 500s. For years growing up I had a Daiwa 250RL spinning reel that performed well
for everything from small stocker trout to 10+ pound stripers. My dad has
another Daiwa that he bought the same day I bought that 250RL back in the
70s that he would still be using today if he hadn't lost a screw when
cleaning it. He keeps it in a plastic bag in his desk hoping he will find a
replacement screw for it. We bought those for about half price at a store
in Prescott when Yellow Front was going out of business for anybody who can
remember when that was. I do admit that Daiwa has made some cheap reels for consumer consumption
through places like Wal-Mart and K-Mart, but their mid price and more
expensive reels have dones fairly well for me. I was just thinking on this
subject last night and thinking I might give some of the mid price Team
Daiwa reels a try for next season.

| Rest assured I'm not using the cheap Daiwa's. I'm using TD-x's & TD
spinners. I love them. My best TD-X's, by theway, are the ones I bought
roughly 6-8 years ago. Warren |
