I need a new reel body
« on: August 22, 2006, 08:45:20 PM »
Can anyone out there know where I can get a new reel body for my Marodo fly reel. Style : Basis-F model #G89. I bought this reel 10 years ago for saltwater fly fishing and liked it soooo much that it was all I ever used. Now the clutch for the drag is worn out, leaving me with main spool and three extras that free-wheel with a light tug. I know this is a tuff call since Marodo went down as a result 911, but I though somebody may where there are a few of these reels left.

You might try http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/ although it may be a longshot.
