Product Description
DAM Quick 100-382 Handle
Restore the Control and Aesthetics of Your Microlite Reel
Complete the restoration of your vintage ultra-light setup with the DAM Quick 100-382 Handle. This component is the dedicated crank handle assembly for the DAM Quick 265 Microlite. As the primary interface between the angler and the mechanical gearing, a sturdy, well-balanced handle is essential for detecting light bites and maintaining smooth retrieve rates.
On vintage Microlite reels, the original handle is often the first part to suffer from wear and tear. It can become bent from improper storage, suffer from stripped attachment threads, or show significant cosmetic corrosion. Replacing a damaged or wobbly handle with this genuine-specification part restores the ergonomic comfort and precise leverage required for finesse fishing, ensuring your classic reel feels as good in your hand as it looks.
