About 30 years ago, my father, Mike Sr., started making fishing lures as a hobby. He would sit in our basement, and I would watch in amazement, for hours on end, and make every kind of spinner and fly known! When someone would come over to our house to purchase some of these fine lures, they would ask where they could get their reel fixed. Poof! Now we had people coming over all hours of the day wanting parts and repairs done! Well, dad still had a full time job as a H/D mechanic, and this was all getting to be too much, so he decided to go at this full time. That was about 28 years ago. He grew this business from a hobby to a business in a matter of years, and until his passing from cancer in 1999, still ran the business from the basement in the house! Mike's Reel Repair now operates out of a 1700 sq.foot warehouse and employs 5 people. We ship all throughout the world and have many US and overseas customers. We welcome calls from anywhere, so if your reel is toast or you need parts, give us a call!more...See more text
Ordered several parts for Canon down riggers late in the day, received an email and call early next day advising parts were available for pickup. Outstanding turn around time and friendly service. Several years ago had them rebuild a damaged Canon downriver, turn around time was longer but was kept up to date. Delay was not on Mikes end but the availability of parts to effect the repairs, which appears to have occurred with other reviewers.
I send electric reels to Mike late summer last year for some reel need repair and some just for service work so they are ready for this season.
took over 6 month the get them back and 1 reel that just to be service power would not shut off so send it back right away and got it back and would not work so send it back again and now they told me it was no good i did not even get a chance to use it was a good reel his respond was i dont know what to say i send 6 reel there and only 2 still working
