Just wanted to give a big thumbs up to Reel Repair by Jim, one of the site sponsors. I recently contacted Jim Hanshaw about cleaning and servicing a couple of my Shimano Stella spinning reels (my personal, not charter reels. Clients have to make do with Stradic FIs

). Jim not only met me on his way home, but he serviced the reels with a quick turnaround and at a fair price, too. They are smooth as silk and Jim took the time to explain regular cleaning and maintenance tips when he met me again to deliver the reels.
I take pride in offering my clients top-notch tackle and from now on, Reel Repair by Jim will get all my reel service business. He definitely knows his stuff, is very personable and loves to fish. He has my highest recommendation and I only give endorsements to those who really deserve it. So if you haven't serviced your reels lately or you have one that needs a little TLC, give Jim a call at 850-445-4889 or visit his web site at reelrepairbyjim.com. You'll be glad you did.
Thanks Jim.
