Metals for tailor, plastics for flathead, in the colours that work here.

Repairs and servicing

Do not bin that reel

Bring it in. Most reels and rods can be brought back for a lot less than a new one, and you get it back quick.

  • Reel service and repairs

    Strip, clean, regrease and replace worn parts.

  • Rod guide replacement

    Cracked or missing guides rewrapped and sealed.

  • Snapped rod repairs

    Most breaks can be saved. Bring it in and we will tell you straight.

  • Line spooling

    Braid or mono wound on properly while you wait.
