They shipped them back in a week with the note that the Baitcaster was beyond repair so they charged me an additional $25 and gave me a brand new reel. All the reels got a complete overhaul, new bearings, friction plates, etc.
Great company.

Thank that helped me out... did u have to wait long.. and will they ship them back to you or do u have to pick them up?

I've had reels serviced at Blue Water Tackle in Solana Beach....sweet shop. Can take a bit of time depending on when the next pick up is, but I was happy...

I drove them up and delivered them myself, they shipped them back in about 10 days.
