Reel maintenance

So I picked up two reels and would like to get them serviced.
If anyone could lead me In the right direction to getting them serviced would be great.

Thanks

I used to have my reels repaired and maintained by Todd in Benicia back when I lived there.  Good service and reasonable price.  His address below:

Awesome, thanks.

Larry’s Reel Repair is good.

General tip that applies to any gear and service: make sure you communicate the issues with the reel or any special service requests. Otherwise they’ll just take it apart, lube, grease, and put together.

It's not for everyone, but taking apart, cleaning & lubing, and reassembly of an old fishing reel can be very satisfying. For most models, you can find a Youtube vid that'll help with tricky reassembly. This winter I worked on a Penn Long Beach and an old Penn Baymaster from eBay that was missing a couple of parts but eventually was completed. When you clean the gears of an old reel and grease it really good (I sometimes add a drop or two of Rem oil as well), they can really turn like butter. It's nice. Don't have any pics of the new old reels handy but attached some of Penn 85 guts from a summer cleaning last year.

Funny you say, but I did look up videos on YouTube and found it to be simple if you follow along. What kind of grease do you use. I see you use Rem oil..

Thanks

Not sure of all the grease options out there, but I’ve been using this stuff I got cheap from eBay. REM oil works nicely as a cleaner by just dousing parts with it and scrubbing with a toothbrush.

Check around the local autoparts stores for the Yamaha blue marine grease called Yamalube. It comes highly recommended by Alan Tani and is super cheap to boot at around $12/tube. I cut it with some reel x to lighten it up in spinning reels but use it straight in baitcasters and conventionals. Just finished servicing 13 reels last week and hardly put a dent in my yamalube tube.
