Reel Repair - GSP - 06-24-2009

I'm sure this is in the wrong area, but I'm hoping a bunch of folks will see this. I have a Swedish made Abu-Garcia spinning reel that needs repair and the gentleman I have taken them to in the past recently passed away. Does anyone have a good repairman they could recommend?

PM if you would like. Thanks.

There's a guy named Earl Parker I think that does reel repair. Call sportsman's in provo and they should have his contact information.

Sorry to hear that. I picked up some parts from him less than a year ago. I had a nice chat with him then and I got help from him on several occasions over the years.

have you tried calling Abu Garcia and asking them? I think they do repair themselves or may have a certified repair person
