Product Description
DAM Quick 100-058 Drag Spring
Restore Power and Precision to Your Reel's Drag System
Revitalize the fighting power of your vintage spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-058 Drag Spring. This specialized pressure spring is a critical component of the drag stack assembly. Its primary function is to provide the necessary tension against the drag washers, allowing you to fine-tune the resistance applied to the spool.
Over years of storage under tension or heavy use, original drag springs often succumb to metal fatigue. They become compressed and lose their "memory," resulting in a drag system that feels weak, jerky, or lacks a full range of adjustment. Installing a fresh 100-058 spring restores the consistent, linear pressure needed to protect your line and tire out fighting fish effectively.
