Don't Laugh all at once...Ryobi?

fishnpray · 12-15-2003, 06:34 AM

Fellow Folks Fishing-

I own a Ryobi VMAG 4. If you have never heard of Ryobi, then please just keep on going and ignore this. For those of you who know what I am going to ask, please do let me know if there is anyone, anywhere for any price who takes care of and/or has extra parts for these reels. I love this piece o' junk and will be sad to part with it if it quits working one day. Thanks immensely!

I would think if anyone regionaly could help you it would be Ollie Damon's in Portland or Baxter's in Eugene.

Good luck.

Ask the Reelmeister. His link is on the main IFISH page

Laugh? My favorite trout rig is a 5' Sage blank that was the first rod that I built myself. It looks just like a scaled down steelhead rod with the little tiny Ryobi casting reel on it. I love it, and have caught steelhead with it.

I have a Ryobi vmag 3 on my kokanee rod and an ad5000v as a light line steelhead reel. They are great and I hope I never need some serious parts for em. Hopefully someone will respond with some good info.

I have an old Ryobi spinning reel.Got it from my fathers stuff works great. It's maroon in color. It's a relic but works good.
