My islander has developed a slight wobble, never been dropped well looked after, would it be a spindle issue causing this ? anyone local to the lower mainland that does repairs on these reels or do I have to send it in to Islander, Should be some Pin people on here who has had to get a reel looked at from time to time

Thanks

Send it in to Islander. Their track record for servicing is EXCELLENT, and they generally have a fairly quick turn around time. I'd do it right now so you get it back for the best of the season!  

Cheers,

Lapa, you took and Islaner Pin to Mikes reel repair ? what work did you have done on it ?

[Floater]

Did you use braided line backing? if you put just mono on the reel it could be warped from the expansion of the line. I hope thats not the case

it has dacron on it, roughly 200 yards of it

That's not a reel repair.

I also had slight wobble on my reel  from beginning. One store suggest that it can be bearing issue. So i decided to replace them.
Now it spins like a dream.
