Reel Repair Notice:

— B&J Tackle Repair Center Team

Our reel repair bench is currently at full capacity.


As of April 10, 2026, we’re unable to accept new reel repair requests while we work through the current queue and give each job the attention it deserves.


We truly appreciate the trust you place in our work — it means a lot. We’re working hard to get caught up and plan to reopen repairs as soon as we’re able.


In the meantime, we’re still happy to help with parts if you’re tackling a fix yourself. If you need something specific, give us a call or stop by the shop — we’ll do our best to get you what you need.

Fishing Reel Repair Services in Alaska

Our in-house technicians bring gear back to life, so you can keep doing what you love – catching fish.

We provide fishing reel repair and maintenance services for anglers across Alaska — not just Anchorage.


Every season, we see gear come in from all over the state after long days on the river, in the salt, and out on the water. Whether you’re fishing salmon, halibut, trout, or anything in between, your reel works hard — and sooner or later, it needs attention.


From routine servicing to diagnosing performance issues, our repair center is built for real Alaska conditions and real-world use.

Reel Repair & Diagnostics

If something feels off, we’ll take a look. From worn parts to performance issues, we diagnose problems and get your reel back in working order.

Reel Parts & Support

Need a specific part? We can help source components for many reel types — whether we’re doing the repair or you’re handling it yourself.

Planning Ahead for Reel Repairs

If you’re sending in reels for the upcoming fishing season — especially large batches for guide or charter operations — timing matters.

Turnaround time depends on our current workload, parts availability, and the size of your order. During peak periods, wait times can extend several weeks to a few months.


We strongly recommend checking in with us before sending reels so you know where things stand and can plan accordingly.


We know how much your season depends on your gear being ready — and we treat it that way.


Call us at (907) 274-6113 or stop by the shop for current repair time estimates.
