Just looked them up. Their website says they save "Reel Lives".

They don't have a big selection of the typical goods like a Fishin Hole or Wholesale.

However, they do have some unique items like Pike flies, beer cozies, a few reels and rods, bells, and a wide assortment of screws etc to fix reels.

It isn't very far off 50st, and if you have time, a quick drop in is probably worth your time as the items they stock aren't really found at the other stores. Just don't expect a big selection.

I also saw they had a Shimano Stradic reel in there for $20 less than the both of the other stores.

If you need any repairs, this is the spot.

Any idea if they have parts for Abu Gracia round reels? IE: upgrade parts.

I picked up a handle for an ice fishing reel. He showed me a couple new reels for 10 each.

Aside from repairing, maintaining, and cleaning reels, does Trevor provide a line-load service? Does / can he load up your reels with line from bulk spools using the machine like Fishin Hole and Cabelas?

I don't know if he does for sure, but if there's one place in town to look for any fishing reel parts it's there.
