7.9 Ounces of a Can-Do Lifetime Microlite 265 Reel

[foakes]

These tiny D-A-M Quick 265 powerhouse reels from the earliest 60's are one of the best Microlite reels ever produced by any manufacturer, for any price.

If manufactured exactly like this today, they would likely be in the $300 price range.

Unfortunately, the modern plastic & Tupperware reel manufactures of today either forgot how to produce these types of reels, are scared to offer reels over $100, or just don't feel they can compete with everything coming out of Asia for $59.99 (and so they build in obsolescence, instead of lifetime quality).

Made in Germany by experts and craftsmen engineers.

7.9 oz, metal, center balance worm drive, phosphor-cut bronze with steel gearing, fold-down crank, fold-down bail, manual or automatic bail release, fits in the palm of your hand or your pocket, perfect for trout, bass, and many other fresh water species.  My personal best trout was a 12.2 oz German Brown on a 265 with 4 lb test and a 6' Fenwick rod.

I made and shipped (3) of these to various members last Friday, (1) yesterday shipped, and built (6) more from new parts yesterday.

If you don't already have one of these in your arsenal -- they are $150, but on sale to members for $125.  Comes with a cloth protective storage bag and a new spare bail spring.

No payment until you receive the reel.  Will ship this week, as soon as email received.

Best, Fred
