In 2025... Cal’s - Custom Built Reels will celebrating our 38th year in the fishing tackle industry. We would like to dedicate this milestone year to the late Ray Lemme “The Reelman”. 

We would also like to thank all our dedicated customers for their loyal support over the past 37+ years.

There are lots of great fishing reels out there on the market… What we specialize in is this: “Making the reels perform the way that each fisherman wants their reels to work.” Special requests by our customers is what we specialize in. Call us and see if we have the capability to fulfill your request.

WE NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONVERT YOUR REEL TO 2-SPEED ... Last conversion was done in 2020. We no longer have any parts to do this anymore. It had just become too expensive to make the parts & by the time we were done doing so it would have been cheaper to just buy a new 2-speed reel.

In addition to our Cal’s tan reel grease, we now offer a purple grease that works well for the anglers fishing in colder climates or light duty reels. We are proud to announce that at least 11 saltwater, freshwater and flyfishing reel manufacturers are currently using our grease in the manufacturing of their reels. 2 of those major manufacturers that use our grease for all of their reels are Accurate & Okuma. feel free yto go to grease page to find links to purchase grease.
