Thanks for having me onboard.  A few years ago, I started learning my way around the old Penn Spinfishers, all by trial and error.  This forum would have been a godsend and saved me loads of trial and many, many errors.  I am now rediscovering the joys of DAM Quick reels and will be using the 1000's of years of cumulative knowledge contained here to make fewer errors with fewer trials.
Thank you!

Nine of the eleven voices in my head are telling me to go fishing today.

Welcome aboard, Ron!

Spinfishers and DQ's are excellent reels.

I stock plenty of parts for these.

Although they seldom need much except for some normal wear items from time to time.

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