Bob F Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm about to concede and give up on my Abu 6600LD service. I just can't get it to run properly. I've serviced all my other reels, but this one has been a pig. Either the spool doesn't spin in free spool properly (very stiff) or the handle wind will not engage properly. So, I've been looking around for somewhere to get it serviced. On DEEPSEA they have these recommendations. Have any of you used them? 'Reel Ade' (01803 401486) in Paignton who has taken over from The Reel Doctor who has now retired. Reel Care who are in Kendal Avenue, Southampton they do a good job at a reasonable price. Talk to Willie on 02380 777232. This is who Roger Bazand uses. cheers BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swainiac Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Bob, I had major probs with my 6600ld, and sent it back to Pure fishing, just before christmas. They turned it around in three weeks, so if you think thats ok, try them. Kendal Ave is very close to where we live, so if you like, you can save on postage, i can drop and collect for you. I think we are fishing the Banks on Sunday, so could meet you and collect it. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob F Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Got the Abu 6600LD back from Pure Fishing today. They replaced the main Frame Module, a ball bearing and the end ball bearing housing!!! So, I was dreading to see the invoice for the cost. But the invoice total was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Bob, chatting in WAC, they say they have had numerous returns on this model, mine was still in warranty, but they did the job and sent it back with no charge. When I actually talked to them on the phone, they denied there being a design fault...hey ho!! I have now obtained a 7000 series Big Game LD, so hopefully...fingers crossed....my issues re gear mangle will be no more......I'll tell you after hauling all those specimen size pollack ling and bass in Alderney ......Watch Rich BLANKER!!!! hehehe Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
