All reels are fully stripped, then cleaned using an ultrasonic cleaner, all parts inspected for wear or corrosion and replaced or repaired where necessary, all bearings checked and if noisy or rough we replace them with quality bearings then lubed with the correct lubricants, e.g. Shimano grease, Cal’s 2 speed, Rocket fuel bearing oil, Quantum hot sauce oil, and I am the only service agent in the South Island with Daiwa Magseal oil, then reels are assembled and tested.
