Product Description
DAM Quick 101-185 Angle Lever – Genuine OEM Replacement
Restore the automatic bail function of your vintage spinning reel with the DAM Quick 101-185 Angle Lever. This genuine OEM component is a critical part of the bail trip mechanism located within the rotor cup of the classic DAM Quick 101 and 103 series.
If your bail fails to flip closed automatically when you turn the handle, or if the trip mechanism feels sluggish or jammed, the angle lever is often the culprit. Over decades of use, the contact points on this lever can wear down or become bent. Replacing it ensures crisp, reliable bail engagement, allowing you to focus on the cast rather than manually closing the bail.

Why Choose Genuine DAM Quick Parts?
The 101-185 Angle Lever features specific geometry required to interact smoothly with the trip cam. Generic levers often lack the precise angles needed for the DAM Quick's unique trip system, leading to partial closures or binding. Use authentic parts to maintain the mechanical reliability of your classic reel.
