What should I do. . .
It's a shimano chronarch that has no business in salt water (but it is what it is.) Are these tough to clean and service on your own or better off having a pro do it? |

For something like that to happen to a chronarch, if it was mine, I'd have Ken's Custom Reels take care of it. But if Shimano is closer to you, they would be my second choice. If it was a hardier reel, it probably wouldn't be as big of a deal. Just my opinion.

Shimano seems to do almost everything for $25. I'd take it to them.

Thanks, I'm sold.
For $25 plus shipping, it'll go to shimano.
Their repair center is 2 miles from where I work. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully I can drop off and pick it up (save a little on shipping). http://www.shimano.com/publish/conte..._Services.html |

Being that close you can definitely drop it off and pick it up. No shipping needed.

ya they will hold it for you for a few days if they finish it and its your weekend or something. Just pick it up when you go back to work. Heads up, i took a few reels in about 3 weeks ago and it took 2 weeks for them to get done....they were super backed up. Might have just been with all the tuna starting to heat up.
