Who around the ft/worth area can repair reels? I have a bunch.

Southwestern Parts in Dallas. 605 W. Mockingbird 214-630-8161. I have had several work on and bought parts from them. It not really close I don't guess but you can ship to them.

Call Southwestern before you ship! I was quoted extremely long Waite times a couple of days ago when I walked in!!!

I've used Randy Nelson in the past. Good work. Ph 903-740-0560 or 817-550-7470. Email is Ratmoib@aol.com.

Dad's old tackle has parts, the do repair but I have not sent anything out. Heard one reel repair shop had months long waiting line.. Report on what you find.
