I just used Jersey Coast Bait and Tackle on Mantoloking Road to repair two roller rods that had the reel seats come loose and twist around. They did  a fabulous job and rebuilt it perfect, the guy who did the work told me he spent about 4 hours stripping it down and making the repairs. Charged me all of $25 per rod. Now I know that this isn't a reel, however they also do reel repairs there and take pride and ownership in their work.  t^

I also used Fishermans Supply to tkae apart my 30 and 50 wides last year and service them. They charged me $55 and had to send them out. No issues there either, just thought it was a tad expensive since they didn't have to replace any parts.  5hrug

that's interesting because the same guy told me a few months ago that he wanted around $20 to put on a new rod tip 5hrug
