I have an older gold chronarch that has been a great reel for steelhead but seems to be getting a little tough to reel under load. Where on this site does a rookie find a good reputable place to send such a reel for maintenance/upgrades?

DVT a forum sponsor and has many positive comments I have read through in these forums.

I'm glad to help with whatever you need. If you send reels be sure to include your screen name and receive a 10% members discount on labor. Let me know if you have any questions. 

DVT has been our go-to guy for several years. I am sure you will be happy working with Mike.

Talk to him about supertuning your reel.

 

Another vote for Mike at DVT.  You get your gear fixed/serviced right, you support a forum sponsor, and you get a 10% member discount.  Win-win-win situation.

Use Mike DVT as others have said. great guy!

Thanks guys!

Where are you located?

 

Oregon- diehard salmon/steelhead guy but we do have a sweet little bass lake about a mile from our farm.

Turning into a gearhead and you bass guys know your reels! Waay more information on levelwinds here than anywhere I have found.
