Product Description
DAM Quick 100-037 Shaft (Main Axle)
Restore Perfect Spool Oscillation to Your Vintage Reel
Ensure the smooth, even line lay of your classic reel with the DAM Quick 100-037 Shaft, also known as the Main Axle. This central shaft is the backbone of your reel's oscillation system, responsible for moving the spool up and down to distribute line evenly during retrieval.
On vintage reels like the QB 1, the main shaft is often subject to bending from heavy drag pressure or impact (dropping the reel). A bent shaft causes the spool to bind at the top or bottom of its stroke, resulting in a "tight" spot while reeling or uneven line stacking. Replacing a compromised shaft with this precision-ground, hardened steel component restores the fluid, frictionless winding action that DAM Quick is famous for.
