| The Real "Reel Ade" Doctor!! After using Ian Rose of Paignton Devon for the servicing of my reels, for god knows how many years, his business was sold on, due to retirement, to his long term employee Adrian Hodge. Ian Rose not only serviced my reels but also my Father-in-Laws in years gone buy and more recently the likes of my good friend John Marshall and others who use this forum. Well last week I gave Adrian a ring for the first time as I needed two of my baitcasters a good clean up and service. I was able to drop them off at 7am and by the early afternoon I had received a complimentary text to my mobile to say they would be ready for collection by the time I finished work. Guys who supply a service like this are few and far between and with there customer service being personal and second to none, what more could you ask for. All backed up with a full postal service. I hope Richard forum admin doesn’t mind if I place Adrian’s details up due to there being no reward for me in doing so. REEL ADE ADRIAN HODGE 17 HAYES GARDENS PAIGNTON TQ4 5PH 01803 401486 – 07733 197498 If the details are removed then please feel free to PM me for them.

| Re: The Real "Reel Ade" Doctor!! gotta agree Kiwi, he's a top man. Two of my reels were under water for three days, posted them off to Ade and five days later they were back as good as new.  __________________ Poor prep= Pathetic Performance |
