I know this is a little outside the Rod Builders Forum, but does any body know where to either get replacement parts or have a Fly reel repaired?
Thank you for your time
Mike

Called them, no parts in stock. You are right the reel is maid in China. I will keep at this for a while. It seems a waste to have to toss it for lack a just a few parts

create a new shift lever for your car. use a fly reel seat, slap on that reel for an added point of interest. you will be the rage of the neighborhood. the talk of the town. the bee's knees. the cat's meow. you get the picture.... :)
