🇫🇷 French workshop · Burgundy

Your reel is coming in in good hands.

Since 2012, our workshop in Burgundy has been carrying out comprehensive servicing of casting and spinning reels, with particular attention paid to high-end models, which are more complex and take longer to service.

A rigorous process, two objectives.

Each reel is completely dismantled. Each part is cleaned individually. Servicing takes between two hours and half a day, depending on the model; that’s the time it takes to do the job properly.

Improved flow

Reduced friction areas, with oil and grease viscosities tailored to each location. You’ll notice the difference from the very first ride.

🛡️

Maintaining performance

Exclusively premium products. Proper maintenance protects the parts and significantly extends the reel’s lifespan.

🔬

Ultrasonic treatment of bearings

Ultrasonic baths to remove accumulated oil, grease and impurities. Drying, followed by oiling to the exact viscosity required for the specific application.

📦

Over 100 bearing part numbers in stock

Ceramic and stainless steel hybrid models are available depending on stock levels. If a bearing or part needs replacing, we will contact you after carrying out a diagnosis before placing any order or carrying out any work.

  • Enhanced corrosion protection
  • Improved performance that lasts over time
  • Significantly extended service life
  • Lower maintenance costs in the long term
  • Support for high-end models and complex parts
  • Over 13 years of specialist expertise in fishing reels

What we do.

Three key areas of service cover all requirements — from routine cleaning to full restoration following an accident or corrosion.

Nettoyage complet

Thorough cleaning

Complete dismantling, degreasing of each individual part, ultrasonic cleaning of the bearings. No residue, no compromises.

Lubrification optimale

Optimal lubrication

Oils and greases suited to each application: low-viscosity oils for high-speed bearings, protective greases for gears.

Diagnostic et réparation

Diagnosis & Repair

Identification of worn parts, noise, mechanical play and corrosion. Replacement with original parts or ceramic hybrid components, as appropriate.

We use only leading-brand products, selected for their performance and compatibility with high-end reels.

You can see the difference; you can feel it.

Every reel that comes into the workshop leaves transformed, both visually and mechanically. Here is a real-life example involving a Daiwa Saltiga.

— Before
Daiwa Saltiga avant entretien

Condition on arrival

  • Residues of old grease and impurities in the bearings
  • Rough running, unusual noise, loss of smoothness
  • Braking is less consistent; parts have come into contact with moisture
  • Performance is reduced compared to the original condition
+ After
Daiwa Saltiga après entretien

Result following the procedure

  • Bearings treated with ultrasound and lubricated with oil of the appropriate viscosity
  • Silent rotation, with the original or improved winding mechanism
  • Brake calibrated, anti-corrosion coating applied
  • Performance restored — ready for more sessions
The Daiwa Saltiga is one of the most demanding high-end spinning reels to maintain: it has more parts, takes longer to dismantle, and requires more delicate adjustments.

A clear, four-step process.

No need to come in person. Everything is done remotely, with tracking and express return as soon as your reel is ready. For 2026, the workshop is not accepting any new bookings.

01

Initial contact

Please contact us with the make, model and symptoms. For 2026, the workshop is fully booked: we are not currently accepting new bookings.

02

Reception & opening hours

The basic rate is known in advance. Any additional charge can only be determined once the reel has been received, opened and thoroughly inspected.

03

Actual diagnosis

Full inspection: bearings, gears, brakes, corrosion and wear parts. No parts are replaced without prior approval.

04

Ready to use again

The work has been carried out with care, the adjustments made, and it has been dispatched. The reel is now ready for fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions.

How long does the procedure take?
The duration varies from 2 hours to half a day, depending on the model and its condition. Reels that are heavily encrusted with dirt, high-end models, or those with worn parts take longer. The turnaround time will be confirmed once the item has been received and assessed.
Why do some models come with an extra charge?
This surcharge applies to high-end or highly complex reels: more parts, longer disassembly times, tighter tolerances, and more delicate adjustments. Examples: Stella, Vanquish, Saltiga, Certate, Airity, Exist, Aero Technium.
What happens if a bearing or a part is too worn?
We have nearly 100 types of hybrid ceramic and stainless steel bearings in stock. If a replacement is required, we will contact you once we have opened up the reel and carried out a diagnosis. We will not proceed without your consent.
How do I pack and send my fishing reel?
Please use the original box if available; otherwise, use rigid foam packaging or bubble wrap. The reel must not move around inside the box. Please send via Colissimo with tracking. The delivery address will only be provided once a workshop collection has been confirmed.
Can I combine the service with a bearing or Carbontex upgrade?
Absolutely, it’s actually the ideal combination. Hybrid ceramic bearings + Carbontex + premium lubrication all in a single service: a dramatic improvement in performance, with optimised costs. Please mention this when you get in touch.
What is the difference between the three formulas (Fluidity, Protection, Optimised)?
Fluidity — Lightweight oils on all bearings for ultra-smooth reeling. Ideal for BFS casting and light fishing.

Protection — Formulas suitable for marine or damp environments, with enhanced protective greases.

Optimised — A combination of both: maximum fluidity and long-lasting protection. The recommended formula for most applications.

Workshop servicing or parts for self-assembly: it’s up to you.

The workshop is fully booked for 2026, but RoulementCasting is still designed to serve two purposes: bringing in a reel when the workshop is open, or ordering the right parts to carry out the maintenance yourself.
