Shimano

 I gave my Stradic an oil and grease and must not have screwed the handle cap back on as tightly as i should have

 After returning from a fishing session on Sunday, I noticed that the cap  and an o ring were missing. So looked at the parts list that comes in the box (lucky i keep these things),

 Monday morning I called shimano, gave the guy the part numbers and my CC numbers and ordered them

 I got the parts Wednesday - and I have re-fitted them to the reel 

 Bloody Impressive I say - Thank You Shimano

Lucky it wasn't a Daiwa reel.

Lucky it wasn't a Daiwa reel. Would have taken a month for the parts to arrive. I used to fish exclusively with Daiwa reels, but am slowly changing over to Shimano after some horrendous dealings with Daiwa.

 Shimano have been good for as long as I can remember, always serviced to what I ask, price good and service top notch. I have lots of their gear for a reason.

I've had good and bad experiences for both however shimano does charge more to the average bloke.
