Sent my Daiwa Windcast 5500 to John for service and repair, as it was making a strange sound and was vibrating when turning the handle. John found the cause and managed to repair the issue at a very low cost. The reel arrived back in protective packaging and now works perfectly. Excellent service and a very reasonable price - I will be sending my other 3 off for a general service in due course!

Posted my Daiwa Saltist multiplier on Monday morning. John phoned at 10.40 on Tuesday morning to tell me that it was all fixed and a bearing replaced. Very reasonable price and arrived back in the post this morning. What amazing service and we had a nice chat too!

Had a damaged Scierra Fly Rod which I was unable to get a replacement section as the model was discontinued. Contacted Svendsen Sport who supply Scierra rods in the UK but they were unable to help. However their Customer Service gave me John Wadsworths details and the rest is History!! He repaired my rod as good as new at a very reasonable cost. I have fished four times with and have not blanked!! A very professional service that I would recommend to anyone with fishing tackle problems. Many thanks John.

Was recommended Reel Value from members of the pikers pit forum. Made an enquiry to John re fixing a reel and sent it off to him for a service and repair.

John called me to tell me what was wrong and what he had done to fix it. Well it got returned and its better than new.

Superb service from start to finish. Highly recommended.

A friend recommended John's reel servicing to me and I was so glad they did! My 20 year old abu multipliers that have taken so much stick over the years lure fishing for pike came back silky smooth and run like new! Thanks John!

A really good and competitively priced service . Reel was repaired, serviced and back to me within a couple of days. Highly recommended.

I can't recommend John's services highly enough,i was given his number by a tackle shop after both of my okuma sea reals failed after a weekend fishing trip, I had given up on them and was looking at a renewal cost of £150 pounds, John repaired them and they were returned for just over twenty pounds. I have recently sent three very tired shimano baitrunners for repairs and service, again excellent value and customer service is second to none, many thanks James.

Many thanks to John for his fast and efficient service. He dealt with the repair to my Okuma Trio BF30 at a very reasonable price and was extremely helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend his service and will definitely be using John in the future.

This man is amazing, two faulty Shimano 5000 GTE & RE reels, One with faulty oscillation the other the handle jammed solid within the body.
Sent off and returned within a few days looking like new and fully repaired and serviced. All this at a charge of £25.45 which included the return postage.
Highly recommended. :)

Once again John came to my rescue. I got to buy an old JW Young Rapidex centre pin. Some 60 years old. It spun about 4 times then old age had it gasping. Contacted John, who said send it in. He takes delight in having classic reels on his work bench. Within a few days it was returned, cleaned and sprightly and spinning like top. He is an amazing man, and full of Yorkshire integrity, and what good value.

These people really do know what they are talking about fantastic service and at a very reasonable price. I will be using you guys again sometime soon thanks for all your help.
Signed on 5th June, 2017 by Tim Huddlestone
A great thanks to John, I bought a new cheap reel off an auction site which after use I thought was great. I tried and tried to get some spare spools to no avail then an email to John, yes we have them in stock genuine and others that fit all at a great price. I rang him Tuesday mid morning and paid over the phone. They were dispatched the same day and arrived Thursday morning what else can I say superb service. Thanks again

John gave my old Daiwa Windcast reels a general service and now they feel like new, nice and smooth on the retrieve and the drag back to silky perfection.

Good friendly communication by John and a very reasonable price, highly recommended.

Literally just got off the phone after speaking to John and have to say out loud, THANK YOU JOHN.
Without his help I would not have got my senzora 13 receiver paired to my detectors before xmas 2017. With help like that it restores ones faith.
Thanks again.

I have a couple of 3000 size fixed spool reels that I use for bass lure fishing from the shore, mainly down here in Devon but also in Southern Ireland. They get a fair amount of 'hammer' and often end up dunked in salt water. One is a Shimano and the other is a Okuma. I have sent both of them to John at Reel Value for repair and servicing. I have been very pleased with the efficiency, courtesy, and high standard of work that Reel Value has provided. I live in a city that has a specialist reel repair and service centre less than three miles from my home, but I would far sooner send my reels to John and get them back working properly within three or four days and at a very reasonable price.
