Reel restoration, overhaul, retrofit - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I once saw an ad…"scars are tattoos with better stories"…
With that said, CJ, I love your mentality. You sir have your priorities straight!
I currently have my reel in another BWE members possession. Avet MXJ.
We never discussed cost. I already know that i pay for any parts that need to be replaced. I mean, duh.
In my eyes, I owe him a 12 pack of Ballast Point. Of course I enjoy a few with him as he brings me up to speed on what he found internally.
He's a wizard, I'm a friend with a task.
Replace broken internals, regrease the mojo, and I'm back in the ring.

Engrave a reel? Never even heard of that. Custom rods? Yup. Reels? Nope.
Perhaps you're a pioneer? Perhaps I'm an ass? Either way…kill fish..have fun.

beautiful reel customize.. why just to add "your personal touch and differentiate from the norms"

Also, i'm really looking into this repair, custom, and retrofit as the next hobby since I spent enough time testing, assembling, and custom fabrication more advance and more precision products.
