Customer Service Mission Statement C&EJ's has been offering Shimano reels ever since this brand was imported into the United States. Shimano service policy is probably the best service going. Here is Shimano's own Policy --------- "Shimano strives to provide you with the highest level of customer service and satisfaction. We strive to exceed your expectations and provide a memorable experience each time you need assistance. Whether you want to order parts and accessories or need us to repair your Shimano reel, our team of customer representatives will be eager to help you." -------- No matter what a company says about their service the proof is in the pudding. I personally have sent reels back to Shimano for repair and usually what comes back is a Brand New Reel.

Shimano Triton 200-G reel

Can you walk and chew gum at the same time? Okay, that one was easy. But when trolling can you grab the rod, fight the fish and reel in your downriggers at the same time? Ah hah. That gets a little trickier. Sometimes it's not such a bad idea to have a levelwind feature on your downrigging reels so all you have to think about is winding frantically. Nor does it hurt to have a solid, one-piece graphite frame, a large drag surface and your choice of lever drag on the Charter Special or star drag on the TRN. And you can even use both reels for light saltwater applications. Overall, it just makes the whole process a lot less complicated.

Shimano TSM-IV Speedmaster reel
~~$104.99~~ $96.99 C&EJ's On Sale Price!
Fish are fickle, no? Sometimes it seems they'll eat a bait that's dangling from your teeth. Other times you can't get anywhere near them. And some species, like Kingfish, take the bait and keep on coming, leaving a belly in the line that the bionic woman couldn't reel in fast enough. So what are you going to do about it? May we suggest two options. The TLD Star gives you outstanding cast-ability with both real and artificial baits so you can stalk the school from afar. And the Speedmaster has a 6:1 gear ratio that helps you get rid of that belly and beat the King at his own game. Either way, you're prepared. And that's the whole battle.
