Your fishing reel is in need of repair. You cannot do the work yourself so you find the name of a reel repair center and mail it to them. No, No, No!

Never put a fishing reel into the mail to anyone until you know that parts and service are available for your fishing reel. And, you have a good idea how much the minimum/maximum costs will be to service your fishing reel. Do not forget that postage and insurance round trip are part of your repair costs. Also find out the turn around time for servicing your fishing reel. If the reel repair center does not have parts in stock for your fishing reel, your reel could be out of your hands for quite a while!
