Do you know where I can get this repaired / put together correctly. I bought this for my son a couple of years ago and it never really worked right. It set in my rod rack until recently when I thought I would take it apart and clean it up. Well I did and when I put it back together the reel won't crank now. Checked with Southwest and they didn't want to mess with it so I really don't know where to go.

I can fix you up as long as you don't need any parts. Lew's Speed Spool parts are no longer available. I own a reel repair business in Tyler, TX and I have seen a few Lew's reels come in. I recently bought a new ultrasonic cleaning machine and it really gets all the old gunk out and I can get it running as close to new as it can get. PM me if you are interested. Thanks and good luck!
