First I would like to thank Lake for helping me with this matter. He got me in touch with Mike over at Okuma. Mike said that they would have my reels repaired and shipped back to me in 48 hrs as soon as they receive them.They should be getting them tomorrow 11/17.If it all works out I have to admit thats some pretty fast service. Lake is going to get back with me on this to find out how it went.
I'll post up what happens.
Thanks Lake
