Not sure if this is old news, but I located a guy in Valrico. Works out of his house and has been doing this for years. His name is Rick Dukes and seems to be a very nice guy. I dropped off two reels with him yesterday and will report back when I get them back next week.

That's good to know Jon...Thanks
He sounded very knowledgeable when we talked and showed me some things to do in the future to prevent some problems.

I'm sure this guy is good but I bet he can't fix this Okuma Alumina sitting on my desk.
Paddles - they aren't just for the bedroom anymore.

When Jeff wets a line, he goes all out. Ya might even say he goes "overboard".

Hey Cook, I bet I can fix you reel. I'm sure I have the right size hammer.

Ya think that might explain some of the problems
I have two Okuma VS's and have yet to have the first problem...but of course I haven't tried to use them as an anchor yet

I feel your pain Mark..I have one alumina that I could not install a new handle on
with a hammer..
It just sat to long without cleaning ... my new replacement gets much better care.
My vs's are both in great shape too Norm.
Much more pleased than the old stradics...they got the DaveR treatment.
