NOTE:
March – August are our busiest months. The wait times are greater during these months. Our recommendation for general, yearly cleaning is to drop off your reels after your last fall fishing trip, preferably late October – February. The exception is if you have an emergency, such as a critical reel that needs immediate repair. We can usually make allowances for these..
