Send them to shimano for repair... like $10 or something for tune and repair...Originally Posted by fishbones
Ive done that about 10-15 years ago just wasnt sure if they did it still especially cuz there old reels.....thanks.....
its $20 each plus shipping. plus parts if they still have them. it might be something simple like it needs grease. pm me if you'd like and i can take a look at them for you.
I had a Shimano Cruzar reel stored away at my parents, it needed repair that was beyond my humble ability ~ One day my dad asked me about it, I said "yeah, it's broken". Little did I know, to him that meant "it's trash", he tossed it in the garbage. It looked brand new, not a great reel by any means but, definitely worth fixing for a few bucks.
Send it to Shimano. The Corsair 300 they would not fix they would simply replace it with a Corvalus 300. The Curado they would most likely repair.
I took my Corasair 400 down to Shimano in Irvine and the guy at the counter said they don't fix them anymore, they simply replace them with Corsair's. Walked out of there 10 mins later with a brand new reel in the box.
Sick! lmao.... I am gonna have to look for beat up corsairs!
Sweet! The Corsair doesnt even have that many hours on it either. When it went bad i had so many other reels to fish with i just left it in the reel drawer.
Ive also have a triton speedmaster W/star drag and a Bantom magnunlite Graphite Titanium Components PLUS that i would like to restore if possible what do you think...?..Thanks for the info...fishbones
i think you should mess up a bearing or something so you'll be sure to get a replacement
owell.....
