Hi all, This post is from the Bay of Islands in NZ.
I was asked to assemble this reel (that someone else had disassembled). I have made good progress, but would like to check the orientation of a fish plate on the drive side. Would anyone have a schematic / exploded view / manual for this reel?
DAM, that looks like a strong reel based on the look of the frame and line capacity. Found this thread which may be helpful: https://alantani.com/index.php?topic=37448.0 (https://alantani.com/index.php?topic=37448.0)
looking at this reel seat, my first though is that it is manufactured in asia. i know i've seen that hole pattern before.
It's been my experience that whenever there's a "Designed & Engineered in _ _ _ _" on a reel it means it was manufactured somewhere in Asia and they're trying to pull one of your legs. ::)
A majority of the D-A-M reels of this more modern vintage, are designed in Germany —- but produced in Asia —- primarily in a long-standing partnership with Okuma.
Okuma is a very good tackle manufacturer.
Best, Fred
