Good morning ALL. I have had numerous requests to post the reel work i do once again over a few months now. I shall do so on request from the guys that have asked repeatedly on the forum. When the politics start i will just refrain again and you can find me on my page on face book under Jonathans Reel Repairs and Upgrades.

Here is a trinidad 20A i serviced for Nabeel aka Nabu or Nabz as he is fondly called. Have a look at this reel at the build quality and design. Its has a 1 piece frame with integral left side plate. Aluminium construction, carbon fiber drags, double anti reverse dogs, a one way anti reverse roller bearing, large alloy bronze gearing, a power-handle and low profile construction. All in all the desired traits sought in new reels are all here in a quality manufactured product. Shimano is synonymous with quality products made for our type of fishing conditions and cowboy type anglers alike. Look at the reel how is is serviced and find handy tips to aid if you do your own. With the upcoming season now is the right time to have your reels serviced, so if you have not make a plan to get them done before the rush. Enjoy.
