Cameron - Ive got his details but he moved down to Bunbury and isnt servicing reels anymore.
Diver - you've got a couple of options, Laith Rickman (LR customs) or go via one of the local stores however be careful with who you're dealing with. Ive seen two reels recently come back from a local well know NOR tacklestore be opened up and absolutley disgraceful (and yet charged $80 per job). Or you could send to Calvin at ReelSpa in Singapore if the reel value makes it worth the postage?
Theres a guy up Ocean Reef way who does rods and reels - search on line should find him but I dont have any experience there.
Yep I'd also vouch for Laith. Hasn't servived any reels for me yet but after spending a week at the Mackerel Islands with him he certainly knows his stuff. He's a big fan of Shimano reels these days.
