Product Description
DAM Quick 100-424 Trip Lever D
Restore the Automatic Bail Action of Your Compact Reel
Ensure the reliable performance of your vintage spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-424 Trip Lever D. This internal mechanical component is a critical part of the automatic bail return system found in the classic DAM Quick 220 and 221 models. It acts as the trigger mechanism that interacts with the trip ramp on the reel body, releasing the bail spring tension to snap the bail arm closed when you begin to reel.
On vintage reels, the trip lever is subject to constant friction every time the bail is opened or closed. Over years of use, the contact points on the lever can wear down, become rounded, or bend. This often results in a bail that fails to close automatically, requiring a manual flip, or a bail that "hangs" halfway. Installing this genuine-specification replacement part restores the crisp, decisive bail closure that defines the quality of West German engineering.

-
Installation Tip: The trip lever works in close proximity to the bail spring. When installing, ensure the lever moves freely in its slot and that the spring tension is correctly loaded against it. A small amount of grease on the lever's pivot point and contact tip will ensure smooth operation and reduce future wear.
