Sounds like you have broken the "Reel Foot" off of the Stem on the Body.

Cannot be satisfactorily repaired to my knowledge. If Quantum does not have this part for you then look on ebay for a parts reel.

check the specs on the next size up/down -- if the reel weight is close, then it's probably the same body with different rotor/spool...  i.e., 80 is probably same body as 60, just bigger spool/rotor & a couple ounces heavier

they come around pretty cheap, sometimes...  too bad you missed this -- new reel w/ no handle for $13, total:
