Here is a rare DQ 221 High Speed.

I put it together out of New parts from the bins this afternoon.

100% Brand New parts —- except for the High Speed gears.

And fine-tuned throughout —- modern synthetic lubes.

These are rare —- maybe only 1 in 50 of the 220 sized spinners were the 221 high-speed version.

I did install a slightly longer crank and a larger knob.

This helps when working the fast waters with the current or retrieving a spinner at higher speeds.

$125 + $5 shipping to your door via USPS Priority 3-Day.

Also, forgot to mention —-

If a buyer prefers, a brand new original handle, crank knob, and knob screw could be substituted in place of the larger handle I installed.

This might be better if someone was going to display this 1968 1:5 High Speed reel —- as opposed to fishing it.  Or just wanted to fish it as original.

And it will come with a spare bail spring.

Buyers choice.

How much more rare is a 221 box?

They are even much more rare than these 221's.

Here is one that could be paired with this new 221 reel.

Includes a brand new complete spool, spare parts kit, owners manual.

Add $75 to the reel for the complete package.
