I just got my two Pinnacle reels back from Delaware Valley Tackle last night.  The reels were cheap, but I loved fishing with them, but to say that they were a bit rough was an understatement.  Both made noise when I cast them and both made noise when I reeled them in.  Both had problems with drag slipping...all in all, after years of abuse, they were starting to wear down.  I sent them to Delaware Valley Tackle 9 days ago, and he emailed me with everything that was wrong and the cost.  When they were finished, he shipped them to me immediately so I would have them for a tournament. 

Well, as for the reels...I put them on a couple rods, put some line on them, put a small casting sinker on the line and headed outside to see how he did on reviving them.  They are awesome!  They are smoother both casting and reeling then they were new.  I can't say enough about DVT. 

They were a pleasure to deal with, very cheap, and does a very good job doing what they do.  Thanks DVT, can't thank you enough, and I will be sending that Pflueger in a couple weeks.

Thank you for the compliments and good luck at the tournament. Let us know how you did!
