Product Description
DAM Quick 100-134 Handle Bushing
Eliminate Handle Play and Restore Smooth Cranking
Bring the solid, precision feel back to your spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-134 Handle Bushing. This essential suspension component serves as the interface between the main gear shaft and the reel body or side plate. It is designed to support the handle axis, ensuring that the gears mesh perfectly under load.
On vintage reels, the handle bushing acts as a bearing surface. Over years of heavy use, this part inevitably wears down, leading to "handle slap," wobble, or a grinding sensation during retrieval. A worn bushing can also cause the main gear to misalign, leading to premature wear on the drive train teeth. Installing a fresh 100-134 bushing tightens up the tolerances of your reel, returning it to the silent, effortless operation that DAM Quick is renowned for.
