That Tioga (I presume that's the Teton product you
have) is a great value.

(Teton reel)
I just received my
overhauled #12 from Teton, and couldn't be a happier camper.
I shipped in
regular UPS, they repaired it same day it was received, and I had it back in
less than a week.
The well worn reel was purchased when they first came
out with the big 12.
It has been used extensively, both as a spey reel,
and in tropical applications (trevally), for years.
The bronze bushing had
become worn, allowing a "chatter" when pulling out line.
The ratchet plate
was also worn, most likely due to a burr on a spool spring . . . the results
of a client leaving it on top of the jeep, and a bit of a skid on the
Sauk Road.
It appears the entire sealed drag assembly was replaced, right
down to the drag knob. The new bushing is made of a shiny silver
metal, apparently harder thus longer wearing, than the old bronze bushing.
All for no charge.
