Josh88 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'd imagine that most tackle shops would service it. I've had my reels serviced at FOW in Manly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightmanager Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 You could get in touch with our Sponsor Tony from Fishfinder , he does reel servicing. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerg Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Any reason for not wanting to send back to Daiwa? I just had mine serviced by them and was very happy. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregL Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 It also depends on what reel it is, some of the tournement reels are to be serviced by Daiwa only. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamtime Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Thought of having a go at it yourself? Quite satisfying to service your own gear. Best time is the evening, on the kitchen table when all the nippers have gone off to bed. If you're not confident that you will get it back together as it was originally, make a note of each part as you dissasemble the reel. Better still, take photographs on the digital camera, step by step, part by part. Just go easy on the grease. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg I see. didnt know about this. cheers for the info anyway. Thought of having a go at it yourself? Quite satisfying to service your own gear.

Good luck. yea, i've tried servicing my own reel a few times but those were the some cheapo reels. Definitely felt satisfying when the reel becomes smoother. However, after a few weeks, the smoothness was no longer there. Nevertheless, its a fun thing to do . cheers for the advise anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
