Product Description
DAM Quick 104-573 Drive Gear, 3000, 4000
Part Number: 104-573
Item Type: Reel Repair Part / Main Drive Gear
Power your heavy-duty fishing applications with the DAM Quick 104-573 Drive Gear. Engineered to serve the larger reels in the DAM Quick lineup, this main drive gear is built to withstand the rigorous demands of the DAM Quick 3000 and 4000 series. As the central torque transmission component, it is responsible for converting the handle's rotation into the power needed to retrieve heavy loads and fight strong fish.
Over time, the teeth on the main gear can succumb to wear, resulting in a gritty retrieve, "gear lash," or slipping under heavy drag pressure. Replacing this critical component is the most effective way to restore the mechanical efficiency and smooth cranking power that these vintage German-engineered reels are famous for.
