chong Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Is there a place that cleans shimano reels in Ottawa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lape0019 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I used to bring my Shimano reels to Paddletales tackle and he would send them out to Shimano. It started costing me too much because of the amount if reels I had so I send one in here and there and just clean them myself now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyboss Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Google it, Shimano reels are one of the easiest to clean. Tons of video online that show you every steps. Here is an example made of one by a Shimano tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chong Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 thanks for the video, it just that I don't want to take a chance with the stella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lape0019 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 LOL, I wouldn't either. Bring it to paddletales or call Shimano in Peterborough and see what their instructions for sending it in would be. Turn around time should not be very long since it is in their top tier of reels.

wallyboss Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I see that your location says Montreal ?? have you tried here? Services Shiman Au PêcheOUVERT 9756, boul Henri-Bourassa O, Saint-Laurent QC H4S 1R5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lape0019 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 That is where Paddletales used to send all of the reels that came in for servicing. Now, He sends Shimano back to them for servicing. Any other product, I am not certain of. It is either a guy in Orillia or still Shiman Au Peche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky_hunter Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 With a Stella please send it back direct to Shimano, they are the only ones with the proper jig to do it properlly and they replace the seals and any parts if needed. Also, the platinum service the reel gets back to you in 2-3 days. I send all my spinning reels back to Chris even if i service my own baitcasters.

Lape0019 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Thanks CNDBasshunter, I couldn't remember what the platinum service was called. And like you, I will open a baitcaster without even thinking of it. I won't touch a spinning reel. I'm sure I could figure it out, I just choose not to.

NANUK Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 A Stella is absolutely worth sending to Shimano in Peterborough, they do an amazing job of servicing and have access to all the parts needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
