Rigging Station - Maintaining Offshore Fishing Reels w/ Dave Morton Beavertail Rod & Reel

SeaBros Fishing Podcast - Fishing Stories, Tactics, and Interviews from Top Captains, Mates, and Outdoorsmen from Across the World

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!
Our guest on this episode is David Morton from Beaver Tail Rod and Reel. Dave has over 15 years of experience repairing reels, and he currently owns and runs one of the premier reel repair shops in New England. Prior to starting a business in rod and reel repair, Dave had been a tool and die maker for over 25 years. Dave grew up in Rhode Island and has been an avid fisherman for most of his life. He was able to dovetail his skills in machining and engineering into his passion of fishing.
In this rigging station episode of the podcast, Dave walks us through how to properly maintain expensive offshore reels throughout the fishing season. He identifies the most common problems that he encounters while doing repairs. Dave also shares what products you should have on hand to keep your reels in ideal working condition and out of repair bin.
Lots to learn from a great man and experienced reel repair guy!
