Fishing Reel Servicing and Refurbishment | Felindre Innovations
Welcome to the first video of a new series coving tackle maintenance and preparation.
I have a set of old Shimano 4000GT reels that where in serious need of some TLC and Refurbishment, they where pretty much unusable but I wanted to get them back in action as they are my favourite reels. I found a company that could do this for me and decided to document the journey.

Use this company myself they do a brilliant job, and as you say they send all replaced old parts back, highly recommend them, although I never got a a free bag😁😁😁😁

Excellent choice of company. I had my 3 Shimano 12000 Ultegra reels serviced by Felindre. They did a great job on then and they each came back in a free bag. Real reel enthusiasts.

Glad it was helpful Dave. In my opinion Shimano are the best manufacturers of reels for the price. I must be honest and say I never clean my rods … I just hope the rain cleans them off 😂

@@daveclark2643 Get yourself a bucket of warm soapy water (a small squirt of washing up liquid is sufficient) and using a sponge gently clean down with this wiping dry with a soft dry towel.. This should remove most if not all dirt and grime, without causing any damage to the carbon blank or rod rings.

About £60 inc postage, that’s for the two reels including replacement of parts! Those reels where pretty much unusable/broken. But they are like new reels now. More than likely most people just need a service and a drag washer replacement which is a lot less 👍🏻🎣 hope that helps 👌🏻
