As an avid fisherman and a Marine, I've developed a keen eye for attention detail, precision, and good quality craftsmanship. I've spent countless hours working with a variety of reel models, learning the ins and outs of different designs, and perfecting the skills needed to ensure they perform at their best.

My expertise includes:

• Comprehensive Reel Servicing: From cleaning and greasing to full disassembly, I ensure every component of your reel is properly maintained for optimal performance.

• Parts Replacement: An in-depth knowledge of real components and can replace everything from bearings and drag washers, to handles and spools with precision and care.

• Guide Refurbishing: I specialize in refurbishing guides, aligning them to restore functionality and improve your rod’s performance.

• Attention to Detail: Whether it's a simple tune-up or more complex work, I take pride in offering meticulous care and ensuring that every reel is returned in perfect working order.

I combine my passion for fishing with the discipline and attention to detail I've learned as an active-duty Marine, bringing a level of reliability and expertise to every reel I work on. Whether you’re a casual angler or a professional, you can trust me to keep your equipment in top shape.
