Mike's Reel Repair

Mike's Reel Repair Family owned for 30+ years. We repair and sell parts for reels, rods, and motors from all the major manufacturers! That was about 38 years ago now.

About 40 years ago, my father, Mike Sr., started making fishing lures as a hobby. He would sit in our basement, and I would watch in amazement, for hours on end, while my dad made every kind of spinner and fly known. When someone would come over to our house to purchase some of these fine lures, they would ask where they could get their reel fixed, and just like that Mike’s Reel Repair was born! S

oon we had people coming over all hours of the day wanting parts and repairs done! He grew this business from a hobby to a business in a matter of years, and until his passing from cancer in 1999, still ran the business from the basement in the house. In 2000, the shop moved out of the house on Gilmore Dr. to a warehouse near the airport in Abbotsford, then onto Chilliwack, our current home, and we now ship all throughout the world, and have many US and overseas customers. Now after 22 years at the Abbotsford location, we are very excited to be moving the shop to the town that Mike and Cindy have called home since 2003, CHILLIWACK, BC., where you will find some of the finest fishing in the world!! We welcome calls from anywhere, so if your reel is toast, you need parts, or are in the market for a backup rod or reel, give us a call or stop in for a visit!!

Simple but effective. The “old style, non worm” oscillation system is sometimes the easier and simpler system.

We have a dear friend (who’s also a customer!) that needs a helping hand from us fellow fisher people. This is the type of guy that helps others and it kills me to see him hurting both physically and mentally trying to deal with the cancer aftermath. If there is anything you, the reader, can do to help, that would be utterly fantastic. Let’s help a friend out.

Bringing a classic back to the river where it belongs! 🎣 This vintage Hardy Princess recently had some frame surgery. It might carry a visible scar on the rim and won't win a pristine beauty contest, but the repair is structurally rock-solid. I love gear with a bit of history and character. It’s 100% mechanically sound, sings like a dream, and is completely ready to fish. Let the shelf queens collect dust; this one is going back to work!
