Matched Pair D-A-M Quick Spinning Reels

[foakes]

Member wanted a High Speed 221, along with a high speed 110 Microlite.

Built each with all new parts.

This is an interesting set —- since the gear casings on each reel are the same size —- difference is the spool, rotor, and line capacity.

Notice the longer crank on the larger 221 —- this gives the angler the ability for more torque, control, and to keep the bait/lure moving above the bottom when in current, along with swifter retrieves.

Both are high speeds at 1:5.

If these were manufactured today exactly like these, using the same highest quality materials and engineering tolerances —- instead of plastics, graphite, and softer alloy metals —- they would each likely run in the $300+ range.

Instead, a pair of these lifetime reels that will handle most any fishing conditions —- are $200 for a member.  Just about the same as I pay for a couple of tanks of gas.

And they are new.

I am making 6 more 110's, 6 more 220's, and have enough parts to make 4 more 221's.  The 221 gears are the issue on these —- they are rare.  Have plenty of 220 & 110 gears.

110 is only 8.6 ounces, 221 comes in at only 11 ounces.

Best, Fred
