Daiwa Reel Repair in the Metro?

[JimBuck]

I've had some intermittent issues with my Saltist 20LW. The freespool lever is loose and sometimes doesn't engage. Does anyone in the cities do Daiwa repairs or is it something that needs to be sent in. Thanks guys.

I'd start by checking with Thorne Bros. No authorized service centers in Minnesota...

Thanks for chiming in Rob. I'll give them a call.

Trails End in Spring lake Park can fix the reel. The problem is the spring required to the fix the casting lever is on back order EVERYWHERE, locally and online. If the spring for the casting lever is all you need fix it yourself, it's pretty easy and doesn't require taking apart to much of the reel.

If by chance anyone has any clue on where to find the spring please post it here, I have a dead 30LW and I'm sure my 20LW isn't far behind.

When I find some I'm buying a dozen of them.
