The Fischer Angling™ Story
When I'm outdoors I like my gear to be in top working condition. That doesn't mean I need the most expensive or the fanciest but I'm going to do it right and invest in gear that won't let me down. The worst thing to have happen to you on a day where you've spent so much time planning is to have your fishing reels break down. Being able to add that extra 10 yards to a cast may be the difference between a good day and a really good day.
I always had an interest in taking things apart when they broke, repairing them and putting them back together in better working order. That led me to taking my reels apart, cleaning them and being prepared for when I'm out on the water. Backlashes are going to happen with casting reels but being able to cast further distances, reduce backlashes and never have my gear break down gives me peace of mind so I can enjoy my passion.
In 2009 I decided to start Fischer Angling™ in Houston in the pursuit of helping anglers maintain and repair their reels within a reasonable timeframe and at a fair cost. In about 2 years I had a helped a lot of people and was repairing quite a bit of reels. However I was at a cross-roads between a corporate job and a job that I was passionate about. I chose to continue my corporate lifestyle as it was all that I knew.
Fast forward 10 years with the pandemic and the passing of my lifelong fishing partner I re-evaluated my life and decided to pursue my passion and restart Fischer Angling™ in full force.
My promise to you is that I will be fair, honest, friendly and always available for help.
Be safe out there and keep those lines tight!

Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DOES THE SHIPPING WORK?
Reels need to be both: 1) delivered to our location and 2) shipped back to you.
During the checkout section you have the option to buy shipping to our location, it's an easy process and is within the checkout routine. You have the choice of USPS Priority or USPS Ground. Once you make your choice, a shipping label will be sent to your email. You print the label and place it on your package that has your reels.
Return shipping will be added to the price of the order. The preference is that we ship the reel back to you as it saves on your travel time. If you opt to drop the reel(s) off then your shipping will be refunded. Unfortuntely, at this time we can't turn off this function.
If you are only purchasing products then this is very much like any other website where you would normally pay for shipping to you.
Do I need an account?
No, you do not need an account and can check out as a guest. Just remember that if you have an account it is much easier to keep track of your orders just by logging in.
If you do create an account, please check your Spam mailbox as the confirmation email for account setup might have been flagged depending upon your mail system.
How long have you been doing this?
Fischer Angling™ has been providing a custom reel repair experience since 2009. We took a hiatus however to focus on our other careers. Please take a look in our About Us page above to learn more about our story.
How long does it take to fix a reel?
We pride ourselves on getting your reel(s) back to you in record time. Many places take months to do this however we try to get reels shipping back to customer within 10 business days of receipt. Sometimes we'll need to order parts that we don't stock which can hold up the process. We also limit the amount of reels we take in each week.
I'm not receiving emails.
Due to many web email systems being very restrictive there is a chance that our emails will hit your spam folder. We ask that you check your spam folder as this can happen.
