Rod, Reel and Trolling Motor Experts

Glenn's Reel & Rod Repair - The Reel Doctors 

Welcome to Glenn's Reel & Rod Repair Serving Outdoor Enthusiasts for Over 60 Years

While our focus is service and repair, we offer so much more. Including a huge selection of new and used rods and reels, lots of terminal tackle - hooks, sinkers, bobbers, leaders, stringers, etc., - new, used, and factory-reconditioned trolling motors, and more.

With factory-trained and authorized repair technicians, Glenn's is your source for warranty repairs for Abu Garcia, Mitchell, Johnson, Penn, Quantum, Zebco, Minn Kota, Motor Guide, and Crosman. When sending in a reel for warranty service, be sure to include your name, address, phone number, description of the issue, and a copy of your proof of purchase (invoice, receipt, etc.).

We can clean and service all makes of reels. Not all manufacturers offer replacement parts for their reels, and manufacturers can run out of or dispose of their parts after a certain amount of time. So if your reels require more than just servicing, you can call us with the make and model before sending it in to see if the needed parts are available.

We repair rods, Minn Kota and Motor Guide trolling motors, Coleman camping stoves and lanterns, and Crosman air guns.

For sale in our showroom, we carry rods, reels, trolling motors, and various terminal tackle. Name brands include Abu Garcia, Berkley, Daiwa, Johnson, Mitchell, Penn, Pflueger, Quantum, Zebco, Minn Kota, Flicker Shad, and many more.

As an Authorized Service Center and dealer for Minn Kota, we have access to all the current models available, as well as factory-reconditioned motors and closeouts. We have some of the best pricing around on these motors and can ship them anywhere in the USA. We stock many accessories for trolling motors - quick-release mounts, adapters, cables, connectors, plugs and receptacles, spare props, and circuit breakers. If you don't see it for sale on the website, it doesn't mean we do not have it.

History

Glenn's was started by a group of firemen in the 1950's. The idea was to help fund their fishing habit. It began in Glenn's home, on his front porch. It wasn't long before the porch could no longer accommodate the people, parts, and tools, so they expanded into a newly built addition to his home. A few years went by and need for more space for the growing parts inventory, manpower, and merchandise, prompted a move across the street to the old Midget Market building. Then in 1978 we moved to our current location where we were able to spread out and offer a much wider selection of terminal tackle, rods, reels, trolling motors, and lots of other fishing related merchandise. Once again we are busting at the seams, but plan to stay here for at least the near future.
