Daiwa service department

[Bbrotz]

I’m wondering if anyone has experience with getting reels serviced by Daiwa’s service department. What was your experience like and how was the turn around time?

I have gotten my reels serviced by the tackle trap and had a great experience. However I get too worried about shipping all my high end reels through the mail, as I have a considerable amount of money into them. Daiwas service department is only an hour away from me. I’m sure they do top notch work but I would like to hear others experiences.

Also does anyone know if shimanos service department would service a jdm Exsence spinning reel? Thanks for the help

I sent back a sv103xs, zillion platform for a gear issue they fixed the gears for like $40ish with shipping. They broke my sv ramp and dented my spool. I didn't inspect reel within their 60 day warranty so They said there was nothing they could do. You can't buy any 'spool parts' from daiwa you have to buy the whole spool kit. I found an aftermarket sv ramp but while attempting to put inductor back on the spring went flying. So now I'm buying a whole new spool because I couldn't find an inductor spring online anywhere. Lol. Not thrilled with Daiwa.

Yea, i don't know how it is if you're in the US, but shipping to Canada can only be through DHL (this began with covid). Normally, the cheapest shipping cost is like $7.
