SD Expedited Reel repair?...

i am in need BADLY of some fast reel repair for my new Daiwa Sealine 40SHA.
Five Sharks smoked it..
Everyone I talk to has a 1-two week turnaround which is customary for repairs, but its not ideal for i..
(pamela anderson...)

Need a set of carbontex washers installed ASAP! Any links faster than a week?
Im broke and only have 1 decent LJ reel..

BIGGGGGG Thanks!!

If you don't find someone you could buy the parts at Squidco and do it yourself to save $$. I used this site for one my Sealines. http://www.tackletour.com/articleree...edaiwa50h.html

Joey has the drags at squidco for $14.
If you plan on installing them yourself be cautious when it comes to the gear lever spring.

It is a funky looking spring that can pop out easily, so keep some pressure on the lever to prevent it from coming loose.

The rest of the job is straight forward, use lots of grease around the handle bearing.

1 week turn around is faster than average.

Try Glen at 619-370-8670. He does work for Shimano. Is very good. Will work on other reels too.

Like the others said, if the bearings are good it should only take 30min-hr to change out/grease the drag washers. IMO it's worth the time and effort to learn how to tear down, clean and service your favorite reels, that way your not shut down while your reels are getting repaired and its much cheaper (squidco stocks all the parts you need).

By far the best part about DIY reel service is repairing, or modifying beat up reels then landing a big fish on them! Its also interesting to see the difference in materials, design and component size between some of the most popular reels.

You're in O'side? Why not Ken's? Talk to Wes or Mario and plead your case.
