Product Description
DAM Quick 101-153 Pinion Gear – Genuine OEM Replacement (110 Microlite)
Restore the legendary "watch-like" precision of your vintage German ultralight reel with the DAM Quick 101-153 Pinion Gear. This genuine OEM component is the high-speed half of the drive train for the classic DAM Quick 110 Microlite. Machined from high-grade hardened steel, it transfers the rotation from the main gear to the rotor, providing the silky-smooth retrieve that collectors and anglers have admired for decades.
If your reel feels "gritty," makes a grinding noise under load, or if the rotor skips during retrieval, a worn pinion gear is often the primary cause. Replacing this gear helps re-establish the tight gear mesh and silent operation that defines the West German-made Quick series.

Why Choose Genuine DAM Quick Parts?
The 101-153 Pinion Gear is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of your reel. Generic or mismatched gears will not mesh correctly with the original main gear, leading to rapid wear and potential failure of the drive train. Keep your vintage Microlite running as smoothly as the day it left the factory with authentic replacement parts.
