Honsu does them Think he's
Honsu does them
Think he's called real smooth on face book
He's done a few Stella's for me no problems
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

Laith
Went out of his way to assist me lately with a missing screw on A deep drop rod tip. Also having a crack at starting his own business, will be getting my reels in the future.

For Fishos in the Great Norwest:

We highly recommend Brett for all reel servicing here in Broome.
We were sending our gear back to Shimano however we weren’t satisfied with the quality of their workmanship & it was costly sending them to the Eastern states.
With this in mind we decided to send our Stella 10000 & 20000, Calcutta 400 and Thunus 4000 to Brett and all were returned in perfect condition. They feel as good. He has the passion and know how.
Thanks Brett

I gueess that my clients are spoiled because I don't punch a time clock.
Not saying that Shimano hiccups are the norm but it's not unusual to get the odd boomerang.
Read my facebook page for a couple of recent examples.
Their current parts manager even gave me a like after I gave them the heads-up on an important parts alteration coming out of the Shimno factory that got by them.
