Have to say that this year has been like no others. Masks, quarantine, slow mail, business closures, partial openings, more closures. Its exhausting to say the least. Idaho has certainly not had it as bad as most others. Somehow through it all, everyone that fishes seemed to find time to get out or at least determined their reels needed some love. We thank everyone who … Continue reading COVID 19 and reels
I received my package yesterday from a fine gentleman in Chula Vista. In it was several unique bearing pullers for those pesky pocket bearings that just don’t want to come out. Several sizes to fit most needs. I had a Shimano Tekota side plate that I had given up on. The anti reverse bearing was bad and it was stuck in the side plate. 10 … Continue reading Bearings Bad, we have a puller!
Bought my first in 95′, then several more over the next year. Shimano Curado CU201 are light, cast light weight with easy and enough drag with an upgrade to stop steelhead. Wonderful reels to fish. Continue reading One of my favorite reels…

Everyone that I have come in contact with in this small industry is genuine and nice. All are eager to help and exceed my expectations for customer service and satisfaction. Two of these vendors are at a whole different level of support and service. … Continue reading Like any small business, your vendors play a huge role in your success.
Graphite framed, stainless steel gear and pinion, huge drag surface, aluminum spool and lever drag, what’s not to like? After servicing a few I have come to like what I see and feel. Lever drags are a different kind of reel than a star drag reel. I can see how this little reel could be a real salmon trolling machine. I would recommend them for … Continue reading Shimano Charter Special Fishing Reel – Upgraded
As a small business owner I am grateful for each and every customer that trusts supertunereels.com to perform service and maintenance on their fishing reels. Our customers come to us three ways.

At Outdoor Emporium we have a simple … Continue reading Thank you & best wishes for 2019!
Light and smooth. Spool is a thing of beauty. Fine gears to produce the 8:1 ratio. Great for throwing 1/8 jigs. Many use it for steelhead fishing in the PNW. Not the greatest drags for that application but you could do it, I worry about the gear and pinion after a few hot steelhead but it would cast like a dream all day long! Some … Continue reading Daiwa Tatula 8.1:1
