reel repairs - recommendations

Hi

I have a bog standard fixed spool with an issue that is stumping me.
I also have an expensive DAIWA multiplier that need a replacement star drag installed.

Anyone nominate someone good in the Connacht area - based on your own experience?

Thanks

When you find out let me know too!

Were very lucky in Cork that Murrays shop on Patrick Street have a guy Dave in there brilliant with reels fixing/servicing fly/spinning now he's not in Connacht but if you ever pass this way he's the man.

I know its a bit south of Connacht but I have used a guy in Cappamore, Co. Limerick. First class service and reliable in my experience, with access to any parts required, though its been a few years since I last sent any reels his way since family and other commitments forced a sabbatical from fishing so I'm not even sure if he is still operating. I normally sent parcel from Donegal via fastway or an post and he did likewise.
I'll pm you his details.

Is that the Dutchman? I've heard that he's good at it.

there is a lad here in clifden who repairs reels for the locals,i have his number if you want it,i heard that he is good with the reels
he didn't fix any reels for me but i got him to whip a few eyes on a rod and he made a great job of that

do you think he would be interested in doing a few reel repairs or would it only be for lads he knows?
thanks

i don't think he would mind i normally see him on the school run so i will ask him Monday

i met him today and he said you can give him a ring,he said some reel its impossible to get parts others no problem,i will pm your number to you,if you want a reel brought out to him i am in galway most weekends and can pick it up for you

fair dues all, let me have those PMs and I'll arrange something.
if I go with the lad in Clifden I might try the white lady for an early ray or something...

Just off the phone with Lorris in Clifden, sounds like a lovely chap.. even if he is Welsh and a golfer ! ;0)

He cast for Britain in the past but a back injury put paid to it.
Before he retired, he cast 288 with a 125 gram weight which is just mind blowing, so you never know, I might get a lesson as well...
He's also done over 230 off the ground with a SLOSH... not even a pendulum cast!

Thanks G for the link...
