never had a problem with their service lol back in the days when I was poor. I would buy beat up trinidads like salt corroded ones and send them in for repairs....they always charge me only for the service and the inside would come back brand new

I now own nice and shiny ones. Thanks for taking care of me when I was poor you will always have my business when it comes to reels and service

Not sure what happened to you CaboJohn, but you should give them another chance. I've been going there for a long, long time and have had nothing but outstanding service. As others have noted, I also have countless examples when they came through for me. If SavOn is closer, support your local tackle shop. Otherwise, Shimano is another valid option if you're closer to Irvine.

The same can be said for some of our other local companies, Daiwa/Accurate/Avet/CalStar/Seeker.

Wow John! I'd take them back and demand that they fix them right.
