DAM Quick Intenze Low-Profile Casting Reel (LH)

The DAM Quick Intenze Low Profile Baitcaster Left Hand reel is a purpose-built tool for the modern predator angler. It is designed to provide excellent performance and a smooth, strong operation at a competitive price point. The “Left Hand” designation makes it an ideal choice for right-handed anglers who prefer to cast with their dominant hand and retrieve with their non-dominant hand.

The core of the Intenze range is to offer high-level quality and performance for an affordable price. This baitcaster exemplifies this philosophy by focusing on key features that enhance the fishing experience, such as a compact and ergonomic body, a powerful drag system, and a smooth gear train. The reel is specifically engineered for all-around predator fishing with a focus on a wide range of lure weights.

Left-Hand Retrieve: The handle is on the left side of the reel. This is a crucial feature for right-handed anglers, as it allows them to keep the rod in their dominant hand after a cast, ready to feel a bite and set the hook instantly, while retrieving with their left hand. This is a popular technique for repetitive casting with lures.

Low-Profile and Ergonomic Body: The reel’s body is designed to sit low on the rod, allowing the angler to comfortably “palm” the reel for a secure grip. This ergonomic shape reduces hand fatigue during long fishing sessions and provides a heightened sense of connection to the lure.

Magnetic Brake System: This system provides a consistent and accurate brake pressure on the spool, which is essential for preventing backlashes (bird’s nests). The angler can easily adjust the brake force with a dial on the side of the reel to match different lure weights and wind conditions, ensuring smooth and accurate casting.

Multi-Disk Drag System: The drag system is composed of multiple washers, which ensures a strong yet exceptionally smooth drag performance. This is critical for fighting hard-pulling fish without breaking the line.

Frame and Sideplates: The reel is built with a Light Weight Graphite Frame and Sideplates. Graphite is an excellent choice for this price point as it is strong, lightweight, and highly resistant to corrosion, making the reel durable in both freshwater and light saltwater conditions.

Bearings: The reel is equipped with 4+1 Stainless Steel Bearings. The four ball bearings ensure a smooth and fluid operation during casting and retrieving, while the one instant anti-reverse bearing provides solid hooksets with no backplay in the handle.

Gearing: The reel features an Extra Strong Brass Gear. Brass is a premium material known for its durability and resistance to wear, which ensures an extended gear life and powerful operation, even when retrieving heavy lures or fighting a fish.

Handle: The 90mm Aluminum Handle Arm provides excellent leverage for retrieving lures and fighting fish. It is fitted with Double Soft-Touch PVC Knobs, which are comfortable, provide a secure grip, and are easy to hold even when wet.
