I have the above reel which I have had for many years.
It has always served me a well, and still works although it is now in need of some TLC.
I would like to have it serviced professionally
Is there anyone who can give me info on who might be able to do this locally?
Thanks for any help

Hi Okuma.
The problem with the reel is that the button to silence the clicker is stiff to turn. So it might just need cleaning & lubricating. There's also one of the two bolts that secures (locks) the reel to the rod which is bent, so for sure it needs replacment. From Google I've found that Ryobi stopped making these reels some 8 years ago. But I would think that this bolt might be common with other reels and so I should be able to find something that will fit.
Thanks Okuma for your offer, I'll let you have a look at it and you can tell me what you think.
