Reels before-Then after Reel Tech Service!

Here are some before shots of the Shimano Scorpions a customer sent me.

BEFORE:

Notice the dirt, grime, and solidified steelhead bait on the frame and sideplates.

Dirt and grime inside the worm gear and level wind system.

Front view with level wind guard removed.  Dirt and grime gets in and under everything, affecting performance.

Excessive dirt and grime on the level wind system.

AFTER:

Nice clean, debris free frame and sideplates.

Nice clean worm gear and level wind system.  Free of debris and ready to go!

Under view of reel with a nice clean debris free level wind system.

Its amazing what a thorough cleaning and lubrication can do for the performance of your reels.  Send them to me and I will make them like new again!!

2-11&12-11 Upper River Jig Fishing

The fishing in the middle Rogue has been slow so far this year.  The fish are on their way however and with rain scheduled for the coming week, it should be on when the river drops back in.

Friday and Saturday were spent on the upper Rogue to see if the fish wanted to play up there.  The fish were much more cooperative, and although not as bright as chrome winter fish in the middle Rogue, they were VERY willing to chomp the Reel Tech Steelhead jigs!!!

2-2-11-Main Umpqua

Had a great day on the water with my good friends Jon Geyer and Clay Sandlin.  We landed 5 fish this day.  Winter Steelheading at its finest.  Beautiful weather and willing fish!

Classic bendo action!
