Location: Grand Marais, MN | I am wondering if anyone out there has an active reel maintenance and servicing operation going? I used to drop my reels off with pikemaster, not sure if he is still around or doing reels. I looked into shimano servicing but they don’t seem to service my beloved 400te reels anymore.
Reply or PM me if you or you know of someone who operates on reels |

Highly recommend Mark at Dave's Reel Service. He keeps my 400TE's running great. A large inventory of Shimano parts on hand. |

I have used Matts reel service a number of times. Excellent work. But don't wait, he is also very busy. An example of his work is an older Abu 6500 I kept in boat for guests. Right handed reel and I use left. Had a tiny noise but worked fine. When I got it back it worked better than when it was brand new, out of the box. |

| What does it typically cost to get a reel cleaned. Tranx 400 for example? |
