Title: D.A.M. Quick 3001
Post by: JesseB on July 26, 2019, 11:38:30 AM
I need a handle for my Quick 3001 spinning reel and can't find one anywhere. Any suggestions?

A donor reel is about the only option. I have to adapt one for mine. The original handle broke and whoever had it lost the fold down bushing insert. The spring is still there. Fred furnished me a cannibalized bushing insert a year or two ago from a worn out reel. Thanks again, Fred! I'm using a new 330 handle but I have to ream out a recess in it to accept the bushing. Haven't had time to take on that project but more than likely will this winter.

Hope you can find a donor. Those reels seem to have a strong following and are tough to come by.
