DAM Quick 5001

[sandbar]

I purchased a 5001 on the auction site and when I opened the box I couldn't believe how large it was. It's a beast of a reel. I had read how great they were and when I saw one I jumped on it before doing the research. I don't think I'll ever use it. I don't go after fish that require this kind of tackle. Is there anyone interested in trading me for something that I can use? I will post pictures or if anyone is interested please pm me. This reel shouldn't go on a shelf IMHBLO. It's not perfect but looks very nice.

Hey Sully!
I have a decent unrestored Finessa if you would be interested.
My name is Jonathan aka theswimmer .
The Dam Quick as you find them , is a thread I started .
My Grandpa and my dad always fished Quick and I have a few😀
Fred is my neighbor and boy can that lead to some issues!
I also have a lot of other stuff so feel free to ask if there is anything in particular.
I am not a shelfi person , I use my stuff , but I do have some pristine items that are just too nice to fish .
Let me know and congrats on that Regina , never seen one before and that is something.....
Best ,
Jonathan

Thanks Jonathon
I have two really nice Finessa reels already in my collection. Looking for 110 or 220 reels.

   I just came across a 5000, and like the 5001, it's a gargantuan reel. I think this is why the 3000/3001 models are so popular...they have the same size drags and power as their 5000/5001 counterparts...but in a more manageable package.

What kind of stupid vandal slopped red paint all over the reel foot??

Maybe marking their stuff? I don't know. It doesn't seem to be damaged.

  I must have the reel they used prior to up grading.

    Oh, no no... Aiala is just speaking of the appreciation some have for a vintage reel just as it came from the box... Jeff

If no one else wants the reel, Steve --

I will buy it from you.

Those are reels that are both tough and versatile for heavy fish.  And it will handle braid well.

Plus, I have all of the parts to make it as brand new -- if you decide to keep it.

Let me know.

Best,

Fred

Jeff is the new owner. I'm glad to get it in the hands of a "Family" member. It sounds like he will put it to good use.
Now that I've held one of the reels of this series, I'm going start looking for a 2001.
