Product Description
DAM Quick 100-216 Angle Lever
Restore the Smooth Oscillation of Your Heavy-Duty Reel
Ensure the perfect line lay of your vintage spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-216 Angle Lever. This internal mechanical component is the driving force behind the oscillation system of the DAM Quick 440 and select compatible models. It serves as the transmission link between the main drive gear and the spool axle, converting the rotary motion of the handle into the vertical lifting motion of the spool.
On larger vintage reels like the Quick 440, the angle lever is subjected to significant stress, especially when retrieving heavy loads or fighting big fish. If your spool fails to move up and down—resulting in line piling up in one spot—or if you hear a knocking sound inside the housing, a worn or broken angle lever is often the cause. Installing this genuine-specification replacement ensures your line distributes evenly across the spool, preventing tangles and maximizing casting distance.
