Quinte Fishing

Does anyone know of anyone who services spinning reels in the Durham area? I have two Shimano Symetre 2500FL reels that get stiff when they get wet. Gets to a point where I can't reel in.

Thanks in advance.

Give Gagnon's Sports a call. If they don't do it there they may be able to help you find someone who can.

Hi Brian

Rocky's Tackle Repair in Orillia, Ontario

Take or send them directly to Shimano Repair and Warranty in Peterborough. Most often a general cleaning and lubrication runs around $20. or $30. per reel if no broken parts are needed to be replaced. Quite often they are ready in less than a week.

Better learn how to do it yourself or get rid of those reels, I HAD same issue with mine. Brand new out of box I had these issues, cleaned and oiled tried again, same result.

I was able to exchange reel and same result with the next one, about 2 hours of fishing and it starts to bind up becoming hard to crank or turn. Figured for the price of the reel I shouldn't be experiencing these issues but they are junk.

Best 160 bucks I've ever wasted.

Kevin is the best

Shimano will do it for you. around 30 bucks a reel though.

You could always watch a youtube vid and buy some reel lubricants and do a little DIY project for about half that and it will give you the materials to do 30 reels.
