REEL SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

At Goose Creek Rods, every reel is carefully evaluated before service. Not all reels require a full teardown, and our goal is to provide the most appropriate and cost-effective level of service while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship. The following is for SALTWATER REELS ONLY. We do not service freshwater reels.

Standard Maintenance Service per reel (plus parts if needed)

Recommended for routine maintenance, “clean and service” requests, and reels that are mechanically sound but require cleaning, lubrication, and performance tuning. Does not require a complete disassembly.

  • Saltwater Spinning (Penn, Shimano, Daiwa) – $35 – $45
  • Mid-Size Conventional Reel (TLD, Fathom, Squall, Avet, Daiwa Saltist, etc.) – $50 – $55
Full Overhaul Service per reel (plus parts if needed)

Complete disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, full lubrication, reassembly, and testing. Recommended for heavily used, corroded, or mechanically compromised reels.

  • Saltwater Spinning (Penn, Shimano, Daiwa) – $50 – $55
  • Mid-Size Conventional Reel (TLD, Fathom, Squall, Avet, Daiwa Saltist, etc.) –$60 – $65
  • Large Trolling Reels (Tiagra, International, big game reels) – $75 – $85
MAJOR Corrosion Cleanup – +20 – $40

Service Evaluation Policy

All reels are professionally evaluated upon intake to determine the appropriate level of service. In many cases, reels only require standard maintenance rather than a full overhaul.

Evaluation is included with all completed services.
For reels evaluated but not serviced, a small bench evaluation fee may apply to cover diagnostic time.

Note: Multi-reel trip preparation services are evaluated individually to determine the appropriate level of service for each reel.
*Reel service slots are limited each week due to restoration and custom rod workload.
*All reels are evaluated upon intake to determine the most appropriate and cost-effective service level.
