BassinNCstyle Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Where do you guys send your reels need cleaning? I have shimano chronarch that needs it but want to make sure it goes to someone who knows what they're doing, it is my most expensive reel I have. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Delaware Valley Tackle, Mike does outstanding work and is a sponsor of this site. I have 3 reels (including a Chronarch CI+4) at his shop now and he is building a custom rod for me 4 Quote

TNRanger Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I use Tommy from Bassman13 reel service. Did a great job for me and only took about a week. He is located in Ridgeway, VA. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 I have had Mike clean and supertune several reels and had a rod built last year. I have been VERY impressed with his work. 1 Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 If you'd like to send your reel in to me be sure to include your screen name and I'll apply a 10% members discount making the cost of service $19.80 plus shipping. My service is a complete stripping of the reel down to the bare frame. Cleaning and degreasing of all parts and followed by close visual inspection of each part before reassembly and lubrication. Every reel is bench tested for proper operation and wiped down for packing. Done properly, this process takes about 90 minutes, often more for extremely dirty / corroded reels (for which there may be a surcharge). Take into account overhead for supplies etc and you'll see that the service is a great value. Let me know if you have any questions. And thanks everyone for the kind words and support. Mike 4 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Mr. Mike, get ready! From DVT!! DVT, DVT.. He is on the boards here a good deal, he always try's to help guys with reel problems on the forum as much as one can... I like that! It's a great characteristic in a fellow... 1 Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Mike has probably done 6 or more reels for me. You will be pleased. There are other reliable guys doing the same work if you hate the name Mike. Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Sent Mike 10 of my reels that needed a good cleaning a year or 2 ago. They came back great and he is excellent to work with through the process. A highly recommend guy and for good reason. Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Delaware Valley Tackle...... like everyone else said already! I've sent Mike 6 baitcasters so far (more to come) and his work & recommendations have been 110% worth it.... A couple reels had bearing upgrades & others drag replacements. All have had cleanings. Can't go wrong with Mike's work. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 DVT. I've had Mike fix several of my reels over the years. Quote

Super User Felix77 Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Mike from DVT. I'm lucky because he is just a drive away for me. I have a few reels ready to send his way soon. Quote

JLeon77 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Mike, I have a few reels that need cleaned too, what is the turnaround time on say, 5 reels? Would be 2 revo sx, a lew's, and two okumas. Quote
BassinNCstyle Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 OK thanks. It will take me a week or so to get to it. Quote

Would be 2 revo sx, a lew's, and two okumas. Turnaround changes daily and this the busy season. As of today, I'm booked about 3-4 weeks. It's first come first served, but if you have a trip or tx and need a deadline met I can usually schedule ahead and around something else. Quote
