'Tis the season to be jolly...and have your reels serviced for the coming year!

Delaware Valley Tackle joined our family of sponsors this year and I am quite proud.

I have had some work done and have had the opportunity to speak with Mike directly.

In addition to the annual service, I asked Mike to supertune a Curado 50E and a 200E.

Man, was I impressed.

Prices are fair, turnaround is fast and I have a great deal of convidence in knowing the

job was done right. As added benefits for BassResource members, Mike offers a 10%

disccount on his work and free consultation. If you are trying to do maintainence yourself,

Mike will share his expertise with you if you run into a bind. For me, that would be what to

do with all the "extra parts"!

I hope you will think of Delaware Valley Tackle when it's YOUR GEAR that needs cleaning,

repair or an upgrade. Mike is a friend of mine and a friend of yours.

He fixed a Diawa TDX for me that no one else could. I've got another to send his way.

Mike is gonna get some business from me in the future.

I'm going to be sending a few reels his way to get them ready for 2013!

I sent him my Daiwa Zillion Coastal after returning from my Keys fishing trip and I was too busy myself to tear it apart so I sent it to DVT, and I was impressed! Now it cast a country mile and is SMOOOOOOOOTH!

sending 3 in this week for a supertune to see what the buzz is about.

since I am a gear ***** I guess I have to start taking care of it.

Don't forget that he also does custom rods! He built a ml/xf rod on a mudhole blank for me that is fantastic!

I generally tinker with my own reels...but when I want to make sure the job is done right - I have sent reels to Mike... :thumbsup:

Mike is always eager to share his knowledge here too. Top notch guy with top notch quality and customer service!

I got my invoice thusday so I should get mine back next week. cant wait to get them back

6 lews TP supertuned and bocas

2 cores supertuned, bocas, carbonex

and a Dobyns rod that needed a guide (waiting on invoice)

Mike must be backed up with lots of reels, it did take a little while, but I bet it was worth the wait.

so yall better get in line and send em in.

I had Mike supertune a Calcutta 251 for me. I'm anxious to see the difference................I'll post a result after I've given it a try.

Mike has always done a very good job with my reels.

Highly recommended! Mike is a heck of a guy, who's very quick to help out when you need it.

I had a very tough 2010 and 2011 from an economy stand point and had an older reel that needed some work. I couldn't find the parts I needed so I asked Mike to help me find what I needed. He was skeptcal about the prospects of finding the parts, but he did take the time to do the research for me, more than I expected BTW, and was very happy to know that if I need help or if Im in a jam, I can rely on Miketo help me out.

Merry Christmas Mike!

I have a Chronarch and Curado that needs some help. They are older reels. Guessing DVT is the place to send them?

I have used several other "pro" level places to send my reels. One place does good work but I waited 6 weeks to get my reels back. The other place has outstanding turnaround times and does amazing work but only services shimano reels.

This year I am going to send all my reels to DVT. He doesn't know it but from all the good things said about Mike plus the discount to members I am going that route this year.

He's about to get busy...

While I'm down for the count because of back surgery I had on the 19th I'm gonna take advantage of the down time and get the whole arsenal done right.

Mike

3 of mine are being sent out tomorrow =0)

I have about a half dozen reels that I'm going to have serviced and supertuned by DVT this offseason.  I've heard good things and it's time to give it a shot.

Yep, I have sent Mike my 50e, 200e5, and 200e7, also a Plfuger all to get work completed on them.  Very quick turnaround and top notch work!

It sounds like everyone who has had work done by DVT

is a Happy Camper!

Im glad I dont have to clean all of your reels. I just got bearings in from him yesterday, going in the reel tonight.

How often do they email.  I sent them an email yesterday and still don't have a response?

Not sure about email, I sent Mike at DVT a private message here on BassResource, and he got back to me the same day.
