I need to have a Shimano reel repaired! Can anyone tell me of a person or shop in
the Mulege area who would do it? Thanks.....monoloco - 12-20-2013 at 06:55 AM
I have found this site makes it easy to do yourself:
john macy has been known to play with a screwed up reel...he's fixed a few of mine over the years.shari - 12-20-2013 at 07:11 AM
I realize it's not in your area but Russ who owns the tackle shop in Bahia Tortugas is a pro at reel & rod repairs and rebuilds. Juan sends all
his stuff to him. You can actually send it to him on the bus...let me know if you want his info...cheers!Pescador - 12-20-2013 at 08:43 AM

Dinning about quality.Rigo's number is 615-104-9850 my cell is 615-103-2697

Where is it located Pescador? I need a road trip...Pescador - 12-21-2013 at 08:22 AM
Chuckie, we are in San Bruno. Rigo Ojeda is a good friend of mine and I suggested that he learn to repair reels, repair rods, rebuild rods, and
supply fishing tackle to local fishermen. He has done a great job on that and business is doing very well. WE stock a lot of everyday parts, a
large supply of bearings and drags. Reels come in from Asuncion, Abreojos, La Bocana, as well as all our local guys. I have posted pictures of
several of the rods he has built and there is now a waiting period to get a rod built.
I am in San Diego right now but will be back in San Bruno on Monday or you can talk to Rigo directly.
I have also been known to pick up reels and rods from guys who bring them over to Scotty's El Candil and then return them a few nights later.chuckie - 12-21-2013 at 08:48 AM
