Anybody know somebody local that repairs reels? I have one that I cannot figure out that I need some help with. Alltackle repairs reels, but only their OC shop which is not convenient.

I am not sure where you are but I am assuming Pasadena? I use Jerry Sersen and he has done really good work on my fleet of Shimanos. Jerry is a Shimano certified guy. Jerry is also an all around good guy.

I typically do all my own repairs, but this one is really stumping me. Damn Japanese and their complex engineering!
I sent Jerry an email, still waiting to hear back. He looks like the guy.2015 Hobie Outback

Decided to give it one more go tonight after digging out the original schematic. All I had before was a similar model schematic I found online which turned out to be fine. The only thing I did differently, that I'm aware of, is grease/oil a few parts. The thumb bar was not disengaging/re-engaging properly, seems flawless now. All this after a turtle and my reel filled with sand.
Anyway, good to know there is a guy close if something comes up again.2015 Hobie Outback
