When the weather puts a damper on your fishing plans, it’s never fun. I’ve learned over the years when we get bad weather, it’s time to get ahead of yourself for the coming season!
One thing I like to do on my down time is service my reels. I was always told “If you take care of your tools, your tools will take care of you!” I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to take care of your fishing gear.
I usually take my reels to a professional to service them, such as Mac’s Reel Repair. If you’ve ever tried to service a reel yourself, you can understand how frustrating things can get! All those little springs and pinions… Mac is a Brevard local and is the best at what he does in our area!
He has two drop-off/pick-up locations here on the Space Coast:
North Location: Chum it up (Port Canaveral)
South Location: Strike Zone (Melbourne)
You can also reach him direct at (321) 804-0488 or MACSREELS@GMAIL.COM
Pictured above is a before and after photo of a Shimano Stradic found at the bottom of the river. What it looked like when he found it… then after he cleaned it and brought this beauty back from the dead! It still amazes me how talented Mac really is!
Penn fishing also has a GREAT line of reel & rod cleaning supplies to make sure your equipment is in top shape. And remember that you should always rinse off ALL tackle after every use! Saltwater is the WORST thing for any of your equipment!
I know some days you’re beat up from being on the boat or out in the hot sun on the beach and just wanna relax and sit on the couch… I promise over time if you neglect your fishing gear… Your stuff will lock-up tighter then a pit bulls jaw caught in a junk yard fight!
See ya on the beach!????
