This is the spot. You found it. I take all of my fishing reels into Ken’s for service and repair. This includes all of my AVETs and Accurate gear. He knows his stuff and uses the best bearings which will outlast anything else.
He has a top of the line used reel section which HE personally services prior to putting it up on the shelf. I got a great deal on an Accurate a few years ago.
I make this my stop before hitting the landings and setting off for my long-​range fishing trips.

Awesome service, very helpful. Large selection of used reels, decent selection of new. Took the time to explain different types of gear even though they were very busy at the time. Will definitely do business again

Good people and real asset to the fishing community. It seems I am in agreement with everyone else here. Kens provides what we need for the fishing we love. Thanks

Ken and Wes are two of the best reel repair guys in all of So California. They are always friendly and willing to help.
The shop caries the right amount of tackle. What they have in the shop is what’s working. They don’t have a bunch of shelf filler junk that is no use.

Professional reel maintenance and repairs. Excellent prices considering the time they spend on each reel for the basic clean, lube, drag job. Ken ties all my spectra to mono connections, and I have NEVER had a knot failure. Honest and fair treatment, open long hours and weekends for easy access. I am tough to please, but I am working on that, and Ken and Wes will do what it takes to make the customer happy. I highly recommend.

Ken and his staff get it done. They know their stuff, and are open to teaching you. I can’t tell you how many other shops just ignore you… Go in and check it out. Tackle, Reel/​pole servicing, line… I get it all there.

Great service, great people. Ken and his staff do a great job in fixing your gear, providing referrals to boats (I only go on the 1 Ken suggested, going on a 10 day this fall) and everything he suggests is great. I would never bring my gear anywhere else to be service. I live in Las Vegas and make the trip to to have my equipment serviced by Ken. Hopefully this tells you just how good he is.

Only place I will bring my fishing gear. Ken and the crew have more knowledge about fishing and fishing equipment then any other store I’ve been in; in southern california. Before every trip I stop in to get advice from Ken and every trip I have been on has been a great trip. I’m usually the one getting bit while the rest are soaking their baits. Turn around time on reel service is great as well.
Trust me once you go inside Ken’s you will keep coming back for more great service and great fishing knowledge from a PRO!

I was not planning to buy anything here, but after looking fore a few minutes, I found a near brand new reel for $ 50. The reel is much more powerful than the one I had that I wanted to repair. It was possible to repair it, but it would be very $$$ since a new metal spool would cost about $ 50-​$ 55. The reel I bought has an aluminum spool not plastic. and has a higher gear ratio of 6 – 1. The one that broke on me was very old, and had a gear ratio of 3 – 1. In short, quality used gear for good prices.

Not your typical tackle shop. Used gear for cheap!
I bought a used Penn 6⁄0 HLW in minty condition and a 60−100lb Penn Sabre (made in USA) roller rod for $ 120.
Service was friendly, parking was easy.
