Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hi Everyone,
Not sure if anyone really knows this or not, but it has come to my attention we lost our beloved expert reel repairman... If my information is correct on this...
I have not seen anything on here as of yet, but Richard W Schmitz (Pikemaster) passed away on October 3rd.

I had the honor of having him fix/clean my reels and spent some time this past spring chatting with him at the Minnesota expo. Top notch man!! He will definitely be missed both in person and here....What a knowledge base...
Prayers go out his family and friends...
