Mike's Reel Repair

Mike's Reel Repair Family owned for 30+ years. We repair and sell parts for reels, rods, and motors from all the major manufacturers! That was about 38 years ago now.

About 40 years ago, my father, Mike Sr., started making fishing lures as a hobby. He would sit in our basement, and I would watch in amazement, for hours on end, while my dad made every kind of spinner and fly known. When someone would come over to our house to purchase some of these fine lures, they would ask where they could get their reel fixed, and just like that Mike’s Reel Repair was born! S

oon we had people coming over all hours of the day wanting parts and repairs done! He grew this business from a hobby to a business in a matter of years, and until his passing from cancer in 1999, still ran the business from the basement in the house. In 2000, the shop moved out of the house on Gilmore Dr. to a warehouse near the airport in Abbotsford, then onto Chilliwack, our current home, and we now ship all throughout the world, and have many US and overseas customers. Now after 22 years at the Abbotsford location, we are very excited to be moving the shop to the town that Mike and Cindy have called home since 2003, CHILLIWACK, BC., where you will find some of the finest fishing in the world!! We welcome calls from anywhere, so if your reel is toast, you need parts, or are in the market for a backup rod or reel, give us a call or stop in for a visit!!

Just slight differences between these two model years. Cosmetically different but almost identical internally.

A common misconception in putting an Abu back together. The first pic shows the spring arms under the yoke….no spring pressure being put in the pinion to drive it towards the spool. Second pic is the correct orientation.

Sometimes we run across a reel that is slightly different than the ‘normal’ trip systems we see constantly. While definitely not the first we have seen, it still keeps it interesting!

Newer Hardy Cascapedia drag setup. This one had a tolerance issue and was machined to fit properly. A carbon washer was put in place of the stock one and should smoothen this fly reel out.
