Okuma fishing reel repair question

[Dreams Come True Charters]

Hey guys. I have a Okuma reel repair question. Years ago a man named Rick Hawthorne worked at Okuma and was on this site helping us captains with reel repairs and such. He is not at Okuma anymore and wondered if anyone knows another person who may have taken his place to help us captains out with reel repairs. I have a dozen cn20d Okumas that are in need of service and Okuma used to do a reel trade or a upgrade program where I had sent in a bunch of reels and they swapped them out for other referbished ones. Do they have anything like this anymore? Or anyone helping the captains form Okuma? Thanks Rick

Yes, they still do this...

Reel repairs over there are fairly inexpensive and their turn around time is also pretty good...I generally send them mine every few years and have em gone over...I think last time I had my Catalinas fixed up for under $30 a reel...

Talk to Ron over there in the service department...hes a good dude.....
