Got my reel back!!

[johnnyb]

I've had the same Shimano Corsair 301 for 10 years now, and it's served me extremely well through a ton of casting, and even reeling a few pike and muskie here and there. A couple weeks ago, chucking spoons off a pier, it didn't want to reel anything in! Wound the line up, took it to Aikman's, and just the other day, got it back!

Feels fantastic now...with a couple new parts in it and a tune up. $40 and she's all good to go...not bad, considering I've never put so much as a drop of oil in it...bad I know. But I'll take better care of it for the next ten years.

Just thought I'd share how happy I was with Aikman's service...the only thing I wasn't wild about was that I had to call him to find out that it was ready. I kinda thought I'd get a call telling me what was wrong with it and how much it would cost. Instead, I called him, he told me up, it's ready, but when I found out it was only $40, I was willing to overlook it.

The guy does good work....just thought I'd throw it out there.

Good to hear that you had a pleasant dealing with him. I've been meaning to take my old quantum baitcaster for him to take a look at (anti reverse not working properly). I went by his place saturday afternoon, and did not know he closed at noon! Argh i knew i should have called beforehand! Glad your reel got fixed, he seems top notch from what I've been reading.

 

cheers,

I had my first dealing with him back in June of this year. I needed an anti reverse bearing for a Quantum spinning reel, and I needed it a.s.a.p. A quick phone call, my credit card # and 2 days later it was in my mail box. I was happy.
