Anybody know the web address for Pinnacle. I have a couple of the older Deadbolts and they are starting to get a little iffy. I want to take a look at their product line, but my web search has failed at this time.

I have the Pinnacle Deadbolt Limited. They are one+ years old. Do you have the regular, or the Limited, and how long did you have them before they started to go south on you?
I have several Deadbolt reels and they have been very reliable, and have given me very little trouble - for as long as I have had them. I continue to use them, and I find that they are very smooth, great drag, and smooth action.
Take care

Ive got three of them sitting in my garage because the drag doesnt grab and the anti-reverse doesnt work all the time. I love the reels but they seem to have problems in colder weather. Wish I knew of someone that could fix them for me. Any suggestions? I live in N. Illinios but would send the reels to someone qualified to fix them. Thanks

I have a Vision baitdcaster from Pinnacle. I do all of my own repair work and based on what I see, this is the poorest excuse for a reel at that price on the market. Parts are hard to come by. I finally ordered mine from a shop in Des Moines. Repaired the reel only to have the gears strip out again a little over a month later. I have dozens of reels in all of the popular brands and consider the Pinnacle the poorest of the lot in terms of value. Save your time and money and simply replace them.
replace the grease in them and they will work like new without ever slipping again.
