- CBCasey BarbieriSep 16, 20255.0They guys at cow harbor did a great job repairing my Penn international 300 TRQ reel, it’s my baby and I was afraid to leave it with someone. They did a great job and it was super reasonably priced for the repair, cleaning and oiling. Would definitely use them again.
- WRWulber RuizSep 4, 20255.0Amazing shop and very professional staff, everytime I come in I get the best service hands down, I love my #60 boga and 7"van staal pliers I bought from them a few years back with custom grip done in shop, still going strong. I highly recommend giving them a visit, they'll point you in the right direction👍🏽
