I fished Saturday for minimal results. I don't know what it is but Newport hasn't been hot at all for me as of lately.

Newport always is tough this time of year, but yesterday for me was the worse I've had in years.

I've a bait-caster in their possession for about 5 weeks. I knew it needed parts but .. .

They may be close and relatively inexpensive, but they are slow!

I'm calling on Thurs.

I have had a couple in for repair before, and usually if it is too bad, and it takes this long, you will probably end up with a replacement reel...that's usually the delay

i took in my TLD star 20/40 and two corvalus a couple weeks back...payed 80 for the service on the 3(30, 25x2) and 2 weeks later got a call saying the TLD was ready for pickup...show up and they tell me that they were just going to order 2 new corvalus and they'd ship them to my house when they arrived at Shimano Irvine. So for 80 i got the service plus two brand new corvalus....great customer service if i do say so myself.
