I had ‘reel tech' recommended to me a while back as I'm thinking of having my tournies done . I wonder from those who have had this done a while how robust this is in comparison to the original paint work .

I had my line clip done and that takes some stick and no signs of any wear on the coating.I would say its more robust than the original coating

I've had the clip included in price F&F quoted me £150 per reel so £300 in total and I put a deposit of £100 down and they sent me a receipt there's a 4 week turn around as well I may post some pictures on here if any one is interested but not sure how to do this if anyone can help I'll do it when I get them back

Not sure I have proper before pictures think now maybe I should have done that but if anyone can help me when I get them back I will gladly put pictures up as I do t know how to do it on here.
I'm really looking forward to having them back and I know in my mind how they should or want them to look so I know I won't be disappointed
This is the work I've had done though

Lipstick red spool with the holes black round the base of spool.
Black line clip
Top of spool is still black but the holes on that are red.
The QD lettering on top of spool will be red.
The screw part to tighten handle up is red.
The extra bit at the back of all basias is going to be red.
And the wooden handle will be red with my football team badge etched on the side of it.
And I'm having black DIAWA decals put back on the spools and also on the part that's at the back of all basias.

The pictures of some of the reels that have been done already on their website look amazing and that's where I got my ideas from.
Think red & black will set it apart from others
Oh and a service is included in the price to so I think it's a good deal

I along with loads of other anglers use “F.A.F for reel servicing and re-sprays and can highly recommend them p, believe me, these people are top notch and you would certainly be impressed
