Hi all
I live in the US in the state of Kentucky but surf fish the Atlantic beaches daily in Florida when I am there in the winter. Last winter, I acquired two new OKUMA Distance Surf Reels (DS-60). The level wind roller bearings began corroding almost immediately, despite daily rinsing and weekly oiling. I now need the bail wire assembly and other bits to get these reels back in working order before this coming winter.
Problem:
During my conversations with OKUMA US, I learned that the DS-60 is a reel designed for the non-US market and they do not stock all of the parts I need. They have all the small bits but not the bail wire. I also learned, that since this is a non-US reel, they will not warranty it.
I have the tackle company which sold me the reel working on the warranty problem, but would like to find a parts company in Great Britain to order the bail wires from in case I am out of luck with the warranty.
Can anyone assist with contact info for a European OKUMA parts source?
