Mike at Delaware Valley Tackle just cleaned and repaired 3 MORE citicas for me. As always, his work is superior. The reels come back smooth as silk, and 100% cleaned. Well worth the cost of the repairs and cleaning.

Thanks Mike.

Yup. I'm an amatuer reel tinkerer...but when I want to make sure the job gets done right - I send my stuff to Mike. 

 

I will be sending him 4 of my "winter acquisition" reels soon...

This.  Very professional service, as well. 

I have one citica sitting that I tried to clean and all myself that I can't seem to get working right that will be sent here soon too

Awaiting the return of 9 reels. Mike has been great to work with through the process. Can't wait to see the end result!

Don't just get them cleaned, let Mike supertune them too.  It's well worth the few bucks.  I've had several done by him and other reel guys.  Nobody is better than Mike at DVT.

I love me some supertuned. Mike did a PERFECT job for me and more are coming!

Might I suggest sending Mike a PM here and asking him. I usually send him my reels in Jan or Feb and tell him no hurry, so I can't really give an accurate answer. However, I can attest to the quality of his work...outstanding.

I'm currently awaiting 4

I'm awaiting the return of 4 "Winter Acquisition" reels myself, including my Prolite Finesse reel that I won on eBay a few weeks ago.

You keep bragging about that PL...you're just lucky I didn't start bumping your bid...   

 

Glad you ended up with it. 

Yep, Mike is awesome!

I'll probally use mike this year to supertune my three shimanos...

Hooligan, I have not had MIke supertune any reels, but the difference it makes having him just clean and lube really improves the casting performance of my citicas.

He's at 5-6 weeks right now.

Thanks I talked to Mike yesterday and he told me the same thing. He was very helpful and helped me decide on what to have done.

Got my reels back from Mike the other day. Early impressions are quite favorable, though I haven't fished them yet. He has a very good handle on all aspects of the business and I am planning on sending more reels in the future.

what was your turnaround time?

what was your turnaround time?

I am not 100% what is accounted for in turnaround time. Assuming the shipping there and back does not count? I dropped them off at USPS on January 12th and received them back on March 8th. I would say remove about 10 days for transit time (getting the order there and back) and it would be around 5-6 weeks give or take. We had to wait a few days for a part to arrive as well. Keep in mind this is peak season still for professional reel mechanics/tuners. I also had a fairly sizeable order.

As to whether the turnaround time is more or less right now I would call or email Mike for a more current projection.
