Growing up I fished with junk Walmart combos until finally my parents gave me an Abu Garcia 521 XLT Plus Ambassador reel. I used that reel for my entire child hood so it has some serious sentimental value. Rather then let it sit on my shelf though, I want to get it fully restored.

Does anyone know of a good reel restoration or repair company?

Secondly, has anyone ever used Boca Bearings to upgrade their reels?
