Finished up eight DAM Quick reels for one gentleman yesterday and today.

These are extremely well engineered and tough reels.  They each will fish above their intended target range with no issues.

Each received a complete disassemble, cleaning of all parts, burnishing and polishing all parts, modern lubes, micro-tuned, tested, and retested for all functions.

None were painted — and only 15 total parts needed replacement in all eight reels.  And 3 of these parts were strictly cosmetic.  

After 40+ years — that is a pretty good testament to these DQ reels.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Bravo Zulu brother....Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!
