DAM Quick 110N Microlite

[foakes]

The year was 1974.

It was time to upgrade the earlier 7-reel line of very successful Spinning Reels.

The earlier line included —-

110, 220, 221, 330, 331, 440, & 550

The New (N) line would address a few areas that anglers had been asking for —- and that the engineers thought would be a useful addition.

A little more line capacity, the Anti-Reverse lever up front, under the rotor, so as to stop the backwards rotation of the reel before it reached the gears and drive train, thus resulting in less gear wear and a smoother operating reel, plus an adjustable bail pick up release that would allow light, medium, or hard tripping of the bail.

While keeping the tried, true, and very effective steel worm drive coupled with a steel crank axle and a phosper-cut bronze main —- the engineers completely redesigned this new line of reels.

Gone was the high speed 221 —- and added was a new 441N high speed reel.

So the New line of reels included —-

110N, 220N, 330N, 331N, 440N, 441N, & the large 550N.

The smallest of this group was a tiny 8.8 ounce Microlite.

It was a high speed at 1:5, holding 209 yards of 4 lb. mono, 143 yards of 6 lb., 110 yards of 8 lb..

This is one of the most well balanced, smooth operating, and capable Microlites produced by any manufacturer.

Here is one that has been fully restored with mostly new parts out of the bins.  Includes a protective bag as well as a spare new bail spring.

Flawless operation.

$70 and I will split the shipping.

So figure $75, delivered to your door.

No payment until you receive the reel and are satisfied.

Best, Fred
