About Us
For over three decades, Doug's Fishing Reel Repair has been the premier fishing reel facility in the Midwest, known for our trusted services. We specialize in full reel cleaning, repairs, and providing parts for a wide range of brands including Abu Garcia, Shimano, Daiwa, Concept, Mitchell, Okuma, Penn, Lew's, Pflueger, Shakespeare, Quick, Zebco, Quantum, and even vintage fishing reels. Additionally, we offer comprehensive rod repair services, including guide replacement and upgrades, as well as custom-made rods in various lengths and actions.
We are the only Authorized Repair Facility in North America that can service Shimano and Daiwa JDM (Japanese Domestic Model) conventional and Electric (Power Assisted) reels. We have partnered with Japan Tackle and we service all their U.S customers.
Reel repair may have some restrictions that may apply to older models due to availability of parts.
Kindly note that we are currently experiencing our peak season. At this time, the turnaround period is 10 weeks. Also, we do offer expedited service for $25 per reel ($50 for Electric Reels). This service will move your reel to the front of the line.
We will be closed November 23–30 for year-end inventory. We will accept packages during this period, but staff will be unavailable to work on customer reels. Expedited reel service will remain available upon request.
