J Ryall reel repair

[tztrout]

Anyone know where I might get a J Ryall reel repaired? Company went out of business around 10 years ago and locating parts (I need a simple drag clip, but an extra spool would be great as that is where the missing part is located). Any leads would be appreciated as the reel has great sentimental value.

Nevermind, I was able to locate both parts.

Great Reels

Just curious where did you find the parts? I have a J Ryall reel. I recall the reel was also branded by H&H (Hook and Hackle) and the spools are interchangeable (still hard to find ). It is the same reel with the H&H name.

Use the email found at this page to contact Stu Heller. When J Ryall went out of business he bought up remaining reels and parts. Great guy to deal with!

Thanks Tztrout. This info is good to know. I don't need a repair but you never know down the road. A extra spool would be nice!
