Members JGarland Posted May 20, 2011 Members Posted May 20, 2011 Can anyone recommend a reel repair person for an old Team Diawa Tournament Series Baitcaster (mid to early 90's reel) It was a great reel back in the day but is having some minor issues now. Wouldn't mind getting it looked at to see if it is worth the money to fix. Baitcaster reel recommendations? I am looking for a mid priced reel under 100.00, one that I can use for side arming the lighter baits on a 5'6" rod. I have been out of the loop on fishing gear for about 10 years now and am getting back into it. Looking for any recommendations from my fellow anglers. What do you like about it? Price? Durability? Feel? Thanks in advance. "The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?" Lee Wulff
tjulianc Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 You can find the best deals for reels on Ebay, if you don't mind using paypal. I really like the Shimano Citica 200e, and you can find them new in the box for under 100 dollars. This is a good deal for one here
Members JGarland Posted May 20, 2011 Author Members Posted May 20, 2011 Thanks. I had a Citica back when they first came out, unfortunately it wasn't one of my more dependable reels and crapped out on me. Thanks for the info, will definately check out ebay.

rps Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Look for a Garcia Revo SX or an Okuma Serrano on ebay. Both are high quality for the dollar and should be available lightly used under 100.
Members JGarland Posted May 21, 2011 Author Members Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks rps, will definately check those out as well. "The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?" Lee Wulff
Members kbbgood Posted June 5, 2012 Members Posted June 5, 2012 JGarland, if you are still looking for a good reel repairman, that them to Paul's Bait and Tackle (if they are still there) on watson road in STL.They stock most parts and can get most of the rest of them.
