Service FAQs

Got questions about our Rod & Reel Maintenance services? We've got answers.

For regular anglers in Alberta, we recommend a professional reel service at least once a year, especially after heavy use or exposure to harsh conditions. If you notice grinding, stiff operation, or reduced casting distance, immediate service is advised to prevent further damage.
Our technicians are experienced with a vast array of brands and models, from entry-level to high-end tournament gear. While most common parts are stocked, we can special order components for specific or rarer models. Bring your gear in for a free assessment, and we'll let you know.
Typical turnaround for standard reel maintenance or minor rod repairs is 3-5 business days. More complex repairs requiring special parts or extensive work may take longer. We'll provide an estimated completion time upon inspection of your gear.
While appointments aren't strictly required for drop-offs, booking ahead ensures our technicians are ready to give your gear immediate attention and minimizes your wait time. You can use our online request form below or call us directly during business hours.
