Paul also managed to fix some small issues with my reels and replace parts even though my model is no longer made. Highly recommend these guys and will continue to use.

 

Phil Tom – 22/10/2026 – Sent my 16 year old Shimano Rarenium to Felindre as it needed a few parts to get it back to full working order, Felindre gave a full service and parts and the rarenium came back as brand new ! I cant fault them , correspondence and customer service is fantastic and reel was back with me within the week . Fantastic service.

 

Duncan Tran – 8/10/2026 – Great service and communication reals sound and look great.

 

Dave Wilkinson – 03/9/2026 – What a fantastic company this is, I sent two Shimano st600rb bait runner reals which were in need of a service and repair. Very quick diagnostics new drag washers fitted to both reels and a new clutch shaft in one of them. I highly recommend this company and will use them again in the future services, parts and return postage was well less than a new reel.

 

Daniel Griffin – 10/8/2026 – Fantastic sent my reel on the Monday got it back on the Thursday It is like brand new very reasonably cost and they even enclosed the parts that they had replaced.

 

Paul Nunn – 08/8/2026 – I sent 4 various models of shimano reels off for repair & service on Thursday 13th August, they had repaired them the following day, and I received them back on Tuesday 18th August, all repaired. A very fast service, very helpful, reels well packed for return. Returned with all the old replaced worn parts. I even got a cloth pull string bag for each reel. This is the second time I’ve used this company, and service was the same last time too. I would thoroughly recommend them if you own shimano reels. I even sent a 4500GT reel for repair, these were 1980s reels and that was repaired too! Excellent service 👏 👍

William Finch – 20/5/2026 – Excellent,prompt expert service . All parts changed returned with reels . The velvet bags the reels were returned in worth the money alone . I have already recommended to my friends. I’d say my reels are as good now as the day I bought them .

Edward Entwistle – 31/10/25 – My 30 year old Shimano Beastmaster Multiplier had seen better days, rough, graunchy, a number of my local reel repairers didn`t want to attempt fixing it. Felindre’s turned it round in in 3 days. It`s smooth as silk again now. Very Happy.

 

Kevin Shepherd – 28/10/25 – Excellent company reel was turned around in a matter of two days , The reel was in an awful state when it went in for service. It is now just like having a new reel. Thanks again for great service.

 

Derek Price – 19/10/25 – Following on from the servicing of my 4 reels, 5000 XTEA baitrunner’s. I would just like to say how much better they feel. I have had the opportunity to use them several times, for fishing for Barbel on the river Wye and they feel better than new. I would highly recommend Felindre for your reel servicing.

 

Simon Paton – 1/10/25 – Have been using Shimano innovation for years now and I can’t fault them at all. The boys are outstanding the service is absolute top class. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my fishing equipment. Thanks for everything boys 👍🎣

 

Andy Grant – 28/8/25 – Great company had issues with my reels emailed for advice had a phone call less than 20 min later fella on the phone clearly knew his stuff and talked me through the fix.
Quality service and will definitely be using again.
That’s how customer service should be brilliant.

 

Michael Garner – 24/8/25 – Following on from an email enquiry, I sent off 2 reels of which one had a clutch fault and the other had dirt and grit in it following it being pulled into a lake.
The guys here serviced both reels and sent them back with in 3 days. I’m glad to say they work like new now. Returned promptly with a bag of parts that were changed. I’m really pleased with the service. Nice job. Thank you.

Alistair McCloud – 6/8/25 – I have used Felindre Innovations for several years for Shimano Reel parts for myself and friends. Came up trumps once again. The top tip is to identify the required parts from the Schematic Diagram and email not telephone. They will respond same day sometimes within minutes. If in stock with a link to an ebay payment and if not with dialogue as to how and when.

 

Robin Corner – 4/8/25 – Just had my Longcasts (originals) returned after a service , they look like new reels and are as smooth as silk , quick turnaround and very good pricing , plus the free reel bags are an added touch of class , can’t recommend Felindre strongly enough for any work on your reels .👍👍

 

Steven Botterill – 30/7/25 – Absolutely first class, communications, work carried out and return exceptionally quick.
Thank you.
