[><=>]

Is there anywhere local, or even in ND for that matter that repairs spinning reels anymore? before i ship it back to the manufacture for 6 months for repairs

I believe at one time a guy in Martin did it. But no idea if he still is around.

I fix my reels by throwing them away and getting a new one from Walmart.

I’ve tried it myself a couple times with my less expensive reels. I always end up finding a tiny spring that I have no clue where it came from after the job is complete. A spinning reel seems so much more complex to me then a baitcaster yet by and large to get a decent baitcaster you have to spend three times the money for quality.

This. I buy $50 reels from Scheels and if I get 2-3yrs out of them, I'm winning. Same with rods. Im not responsible enough to own $300 St. Croix (however its spelled) rods. I'll take to $50 Scheels Outfitter rods all day long. I can still slam walleyes like a boss with these setups.
