PENN reel repair guru

[ddratler]

Chef Jim - Jim Adams
this guy fixes, cleans, puts together, lubes up and sells, almost all penn conventional reels, from new to old.
i already sent him a squidder that was a little rusty and had all this grease crap inside, he sent it back shiny clean with a new power handle, new washers, and all for a sick price
im sending him a 4/0 that was sitting in my granpa's shed for like 25 years, its got green rust all over it, and i dont even want to know what it looks like inside, either way ill post pics when i get it back
great guy, great sevice, cheap prices, this guy knows PENN reels

got the penn 4/0 back yesterday and WOW!
i wish i would have took a before picture, but you can imagine how a reel with mostly metal parts sitting in a damp shed in miami for 25 years would look

he installed new carbontex washers that i had sent to him
its like a new freekin reel only with more history and attitude
kings watch out




Thanks Chef!!!!

looks good no matter how bad it looked before... its a good way to get a reel that means a lot to you back in order.

well he did a similar job on a squidder i sent him for 20$, i told him about how that reel got left at the pier and he said that as long as i buy a reel from him in the future or if i get someone to, then he'll do it for free!!
im not saying that he does deals like this all the time but this just shows what type of person he is
