Best place to buy Daiwa Parts or Tuning?

[Kurt L]

Can you tell me the best place to buy Daiwa casting reel parts? I have a Lexa 300 that I would like to try a new gear set in, it has been fairly rough since day one but a great reel so I would like to upgrade the gears or have it tuned, Same with a Tat Type R CT
I just got, its noisy and a bit rough but again a great reel, Can anybody recommend a good person to tune them up?

Thanks, Kurt

So....does having an in-house magician like pikeroadbassn tempt you to slack off a little on your maintenance?

I have tried to buy from tackle trap before but they would not ship to Alaska. I started buying most of my reels from Japan because shipping is easy, from the lower 48 it's getting harder and harder. But... the last three JDM Shimano's I bought have all had quality control issues so I'm starting to test the waters with Daiwa after 30+ years of Shimano.

Take a look here,I'm using this site for parts and some rod-reel...
And for work on it...If you want to do something right,better do it yourself.

That's odd. TTT has shipped to Alaska many times. Feel free to send me a PM if you would like to try again or encounter any problems.

Try Dave's parts and service, South western parts and service or The Reel Doctor in Canada. Plat will have a lot of parts you can't find in the states but expect to pay at least $40 to ship an order.

Thanks Bronzefly, I tried to order twice prior online and Alaska was not an option for shipping, I saw a few parts I could use I'll try again!

Thanks, Kurt
