    Reel Cleaning and Repair

    I have a few Penn spinning reels I would like to get cleaned and lubed. Does anyone know someone around Louisville that is still doing this?

    Thanks

    We send our Penn reels into Bass Pro, they do good work and not overly expensive. You might try the BP in Clarksville. I don't know if they do the work there but they will know how to send them in. I've also sent them in to Half Hitch tackle in Destin or PCB. They're good too.

    Webby . . I have not used this fellow but plan to. I do believe he quotes his pricing!
    I know some folks that have used him and has been recommended by them as being professional.

    You may want to check him out on his website:

    Good luck and let me know how it turns out if you do trade with him.

    I received this name and number at the bass tournament I fished. Don't know anything about them except they are located in the 270 area code.

    That's John Lancaster.. He is down in Hopkinsville. Thanks...

    Really hoping I can find something in Louisville but if not i guess Shipping is better than having to buy all new stuff.

    Yep sure is.. I've already e-mailed him. Looks like he is deaf so e-mail might be easier to communicate than a phone call.
