Simply drop your rod or reel into your nearest Top Catch store and let our team take care of the rest. All major reel brands are fully stripped, inspected, lubricated, and reassembled by experienced technicians. We’ll contact you before ordering any replacement parts. Due to seasonal pressure, please enquire at your local store for current turnaround timeframes.

We also offer professional line respooling using electronic winding machines to ensure perfect, even tension. Choose from a wide range of braid, mono, and non-IGFA lines — and only pay for the exact amount used from our bulk spools.

Don’t wait for your gear to fail — regular maintenance prevents costly repairs and keeps you fishing longer. Reels that are used frequently should be professionally serviced once a year to ensure smooth performance. Rod tips and guides can be repaired quickly and affordably, and nylon line should be replaced annually as sun and salt exposure weakens it over time. A little maintenance now can save you from losing the fish of a lifetime.

Regular care keeps your gear performing at its best. Check rod guides for damage using pantyhose or a cotton swab, and inspect roller guides before and after every saltwater trip. When trolling, always ensure your line isn’t wrapped around a guide. Never hose reels down — instead, wipe them with a damp cloth, then spray with Tackle Guard or Inox before drying and storing in a reel sock or bag. These products are safe for nylon, braid, and rubber, helping to clean, lubricate, remove moisture, prevent corrosion, and protect your tackle. Finally, always back off your reel drag when not in use to prevent compression and maintain smooth performance.
