Title: Quick 221
Post by: hrgriz on May 07, 2025, 05:33:27 PM
I purchased a DQ 221 on the big auction site for what I thought was a great price. Could not tell from photos that there was a hunk out of the front lip of the spool. I have not seen a spool available. Are there any substitutes for it. I really want to use this reel, seems like a nice one with the faster gearing. Beware of good deals I guess 🤔

The 221/220 spools are identical.  Plus, a 238 spool can also be subbed.

Here is a nearly new 238 spool, $18.

And a new 220 complete spool with all parts, just snap it on, for
$28.

Best, Fred

Thanks Fred, i will take that 238 spool, if I can switch my parts over.
Let me know how much total, and I will send it your way. Can't wait to try this reel out. Thanks for your wealth of knowledge!

Hi David —-

I removed your post with your address for privacy reasons.

Received your mailing info overnight, and the spool is packaged and will go down to the Post Office early this afternoon.

When you get the reel completed, post a photo for the group.

I also included the drag stack & safety ring.

Best, Fred
