B_Rod TFF Team Angler Registered: 10/24/06 Posts: 3540 Loc: Fort Worth	Have an Abu Garcia 6600 BCX that needs a bait clicker spring replaced. Is this a DIY or should I send it to get repaired? If repaired, who knows of a good reel repair shop?

Head over to Dallas and drop it off at Southwestern Parts and Service. http://www.southwesternparts.com And have them do a cleaning and tune up while it's in. You'll thank me when you get it back. Great techs there. _________________________

bighaida Pro Angler Registered: 01/21/08 Posts: 723 Loc: San Antonio, Tx, 78227	http://www.abugarcia.com/support/reel-schematics?page=5 This is the shortcut to your reel schematic. They'll prabably send you the part for free and it'll take 5 minutes to install. Good Luck Edited by bighaida (01/20/12 07:49 PM) _________________________ Randy 210-415-1738

Caribou TFF Celebrity Registered: 05/20/11 Posts: 5395 Loc: Watauga, TX	I know a couple reel techs who don't take repairs on the bcx series reels. But I bet sw parts will. _________________________ “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” -Ralph Waldo Emmerson

bpharris Angler Registered: 08/09/04 Posts: 342 Loc: Colleyville, TX	Just picked up 2 Garcia reels from Southwest. Those boys know what they're doing. I've taken some reels to other places and had some very shady results. Southwest is def the way to go!! _________________________ "If you can read this, thank a teacher.

CrappyBassfishindude Pro Angler Registered: 07/04/11 Posts: 642 Loc: Big D	Another vote for Southwest Parts & Service! A great group of guys who know what there doing. They get ALL of my repairs. Also, they have some of the BEST prices on new rods and reels in town.

bpharris Angler Registered: 08/09/04 Posts: 342 Loc: Colleyville, TX	Total tab for 5 reels at Southwest was $150. Well worth the money!! The only drawback is that it can take a couple of months to get them done. We dropped ours off in late NOV and got them back a couple weeks ago. www.brianharris.joinambit.com _________________________ "If you can read this, thank a teacher.
