Where to send reels for upgrades?

Post by 1nutinthewater » Sat May 13, 2017 12:39 pm

I have 6 Daiwa Tatula's and 3 are a few years old so time for maintenance and might as well get some upgrades. Any advice on where to send them?

Replace worm gear bushing with bearings/ upgrade any bearings and just maintenance.
I have no problem opening up the old curados and working on them but I do not wish to open up the Tatulas and end up with a mess- Some things are just best left to professionals and not my club fingers.

X2! I just sent him a reel that came back better than before.
Get your kids hooked on fishing, and they'll never have any money for drugs or alcohol.
