I had to leave the country (job -- not the law!) for a while and, unfortunately, I didn't clean up my reel before departing. To make a long story short there is some major corrosion in the reel, rendering it barely operable. I'm curious as to the chances of having it repaired even though it was my fault that it became damaged. Anyone have any experience and/or info re returning reels to shimano fer repairs?

As always thanx fer yer response

Sincerely,
Roger
