Title: DAM round baitcaster
Post by: Marktrahan on April 19, 2018, 09:14:06 PM
Would any one have a left side cast control knob for a DAM quick 700 Champion round baitcaster?

Knob on an Abu Garcia 5600 will work. You may have to remove the o ring to get enough tension. Have to try it and see. Outside of that, will work just fine.
Also, threads on main gear spindle are the same. One of my Dams has a Abu Garcia nut on it. (Handle nut)

Glad to help out. I have Dams and Abu's and while there is not a lot of difference in them(Dam definitely copied the Abu's) I think I have give to Dam a bit of a edge as far as quality. And that is saying a lot. On the flip side, parts can be hard to come by. Not so with the Abu's.
