Product Description
DAM Quick 110-490 Lever - SLS 3
Restore the instant stopping power of your DAM Quick reel with this genuine Lever replacement.
The 110-490 Lever serves as the Anti-Reverse Pawl (or Stop Pawl) for the DAM Quick SLS 3 spinning reel. Located inside the gear housing, this component is responsible for engaging the ratchet teeth on the rotor or pinion assembly to prevent the handle from turning backward. A reliable anti-reverse is crucial for setting the hook and fighting fish effectively. If your reel handle slips backward under load or the anti-reverse switch feels unresponsive, a worn or damaged pawl lever is the most common issue. This authentic part restores the solid, mechanical lock-up required for serious fishing.
