The book set contains both the "Fishing Reel Care and Maintenance 101" and "How To Start A Reel Repair Business" books.

FISHING REEL CARE AND MAINTENANCE 101
"Fishing Reel Care and Maintenance 101" is a step-by-step how-to guide to help anglers perform their own reel maintenance and repairs, as well as maintain other angling gear. It is based on guidance from top experts in the field of fishing reel maintenance.

As an avid angler for four decades, I understand the need for maintaining fishing gear properly. Sadly, however there are millions of anglers that would love to do their own maintenance or repairs but feel intimidated at the mere thought of taking their reels apart. Instead they opt to taking their reels into a service center to leave their gear in the hands of a stranger whom they have no idea of his qualifications or to simply never do the required maintenance. This is evident by sheer number of the reel repair shops that pop up virtually everywhere, some with little to no experience servicing reels at all. No solider in his right mind would trust the operation of his weapon with a stranger when he was going into battle, and neither should any angler, after all in sportfishing the reel is your weapon and every angler needs to know it will perform at its best when needed. The old saying “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself” holds true when it comes to taking care of your reels!

Comprehensive Scope
Over 7 years went into the making of this book and DVD. Far more than just a book about maintaining and repairing reels, Fishing Reel Care and Maintenance 101 demystifies the fear that many anglers have that reels are simply too complicated for them to service, don’t know what products to use, or where to obtain replacement parts. There are many reasons why this book stands out in its field, though in a nutshell, here are eight keys:

• Leading experts teach anglers how to save money by doing their own repairs
• Teaches you how to clean and lubricate any reel just like the professionals
• Understand about reel fabrication and what goes into your reels
• Lubrication charts made identifying where to grease or oil easy
• Step by step maintenance guides from top experts
• Teaches you how to purchase a reel with confidence and knowledge
• Learn how you can save even more money when it comes to fishing line
• Future technologies today! Cryogenics and what it can do for your reels.

242 detailed pages! we've created the best resource you can find on fishing reel maintenance and care. From the beginner to the seasoned angler, it's a book that every angler should simply not be without!

Whether you’re purchasing a new reel, or would like to service and maintain your current collection of reels. There are many things that you should know, and not just how to disassemble the reel. If you are purchasing a new reel I’m sure you’ve been the conscious angler so you’ve done a lot of research, talked to others about which ones they like best and why. You checked free spool times, gear ratios, line capacity, star or lever drag, size, etc. Maybe walked into a few stores and held them in your hands. But there are other equally important factors that you should be considering such as Serviceability; can you service the reel yourself or will it have to be done professionally. 

Sounds like a simple thing, although time and again anglers overlook this consideration because they hear the marketing hype about how many years of trouble free service the reel will give, which they assume means it needs no service at all, wrong.

Reliability is another important factor in a reel. Let’s face it most drags stick on reels right out of the box and the few that do not, won’t remain smooth for any length of time. Corrosion is also a big issue and preventing it starts at the factory during the manufacturing process and continues with the angler after the purchase.

 If you own a reel repair business it is your customer that is relying on you to help them maintain their reels in the proper way. And as with any investment, you need to maintain it properly to protect it.

  In the past anglers were not as in tuned to maintaining their reels the way we are today, with more technological advances also comes more precise and more sensitive gear to the elements. Anglers sometimes think that as long as the reel is not dropped in the sand, water, or dirt that it should not need as much periodic maintenance, however consider the case of the surf fishermen, the reel is subjected to windblown sands, roasting sunlight, and saltwater spray, all without even touching the ground.
 
In this book we are going to give you the knowledge to properly care for and maintain your fishing reels for years of enjoyment and at its peak performance for when it really counts! I cover a lot of topics within the book, simply because there are a lot of outside influences when it comes to reels, including lines, lubricants, reel covers, and a lot more that all affect the performance, serviceability and sustainability of any reel.
