| Any recommendations on where to send some reels in to get repaired? They are mostly Daiwa Luna's, and Shimano Calcuttas.
Thanks! |

Location: North/Central WI | I would send them to Chuck Brod at Sportsmans Repair Shop in Mosinee. Chuck has always done excellent work for me. I just dropped off a Revo and a TE there on Monday and he said they are caught up and the turnaround should be relatively quick. Here is his phone # - 715-693-6634. |

Big reel expert. Salmon guys bring him their reels before they put line on them so he can replace the factory drags. Probably works on a thousand reels a year. |

Pike, what bearing can be added to the calcutta and what effect does it have on the reel?
Thanks,

Location: MN | Here is Pike's post from 5/4:
Shimano ConQuest, Shimano CalCutta LJV, Shimano CalCutta TE. Best Round Reels. I can Clean and relube any Calcutta U have and can do upgrades on them, I can replace the bushing on the spool and replace it with a ABEC7 Bearing, that will keep the spool from flexing on hooksets, I like to replace the stock drag washers for Carbontex washers, you will gain a little on top end and the drag will be butter smooth, no jerking of line going out on drag, and I polish some of contact points to smooth out the reel, PM me for details

The 400B now has a bearing on the side of the spool, ck to make sure yours does, But the TE still has a bushing on the side of the spool so I can replace that bushing with a ABEC 7 cearamic bearing, what that will do is help support the spool shaft and keep it from flexing on hook sets and becomes a pinion support bearing that will keep the pinion in line with the main gear for a smoother reel.
