I've got an older Oklahoma line counter reel that came as a combination at bass pro rod and reel under 100 bucks the drag is gone on the real does it pay to get it fixed or just buy a better one

You can get good carbon washer drag kits for like $10. Be a good idea if you have any of cheaper Okumas to replace. Tuna Tom's reel repair. Google it, he has everything you will need.

I just sent 2 Diawa Sg27lc's to him arriving on Thursday with no response to emails and a lot of hope. I'll keep you posted.

I just checked my email and got a reply. Probably his busy season.

Ask for Andy...great guy and very competent.

Has anyone upgraded the drag washers themselves (with Tuna Tom's kits)? Is it easy?

I know a lot of guys do it but a while back I tried it with one of my reels and ended up sending it to Andy to complete as a bag of parts

Ok thanks. I haven't really found a good source/video that shows you how. Perhaps I will just send my reels in after the season.

You won't be sorry they do a great job and the reels come back like new with a good turn around time and fair pricing. Kind of rare servicing for these days.and they are great!

Sounds awesome. Thank you.
