We are able to service most main stream brands of rods and reels.

A full reel service involves stripping the reel down, cleaning all parts, removing the old lubricant and dirt and replacing with new oil and grease as needed. Should the reel need parts, subject to availability, the cost of the parts are extra, however the cost of fitting the parts is included in the service fee.

Parts are readily available for current models of Shimano, Penn, Okuma, Daiwa. All of these brands offer excellent parts and warranty services, and customer satisfaction is important to both us as the retailer, and to the wholesalers, who will always endeavour to resolve customer’s problems satisfactorily. We are unable to get parts for some brands of reels imported into New Zealand for sale direct to the public.

We are able to replace both tips and guides on rods and have a good range in stock. We are also able to repair rotating reel seats, gimbal butts and some kinds of structural damage. We assess the condition and quantities of line on spools and will advise if replacement or topping up the level of line on spool is recommended.

We can fully refurbish your favorite rods with all new guides, or refurbish Granddad's heirloom rods. We use quality components combined with forty years of experience to ensure a high standard of workmanship. We will always advise you if the cost of the repair exceeds the value of the rod or reel so you can make an informed decisions regarding whether or not you wish to proceed with the repair.

We offer a free line spooling service for nylon or braid.
