What Sets Fishing Reel Care and Maintenance 101 apart?
For decades anglers have either been doing their own reel maintenance and repair with very little to no expert direction, or paying for the services from tackle shops that regulary set up reel repair services as a secondary or side business. So what does Fishing Reel Care and Maintenance 101 bring to the angler that makes it different?
BOOK DESCRIPTION
"Fishing Reel Care and Maintenance 101" is a step-by-step how-to guide to help anglers perform their own reel maintenance and repairs, as well as maintain other angling gear. It is based on guidance from top experts in the field of fishing reel maintenance.
As an avid angler for four decades, I understand the need to maintaining fishing gear properly. Sadly, however there are millions of anglers that would love to do their own maintenance or repairs but feel intimidated at the mere thought of taking their reels apart. Instead they opt to taking their reels into a service center to leave their gear in the hands of a stranger whom they have no idea of his qualifications. This is evident by sheer number of the reel repair shops that pop up virtually everywhere, some with little to no experience servicing reels at all. No solider in his right mind would trust the operation of his weapon with a stranger when he was going into battle, and neither should any angler, after in sportfishing the reel is your weapon and every angler needs to know it will perform at its best when needed. The old saying “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself” holds true!
