Product Description
DAM Quick 110-491 Lever - SLS 4
Ensure rock-solid hook sets and reliable handle stops with this genuine DAM Quick Lever replacement.
The 110-491 Lever functions as the Anti-Reverse Pawl (often called the Stop Pawl or Dog) for the DAM Quick SLS 4. Situated within the reel's gearbox, this lever is critical for preventing the handle from spinning backward. When the anti-reverse is engaged, the pawl locks into the ratchet, providing the immediate resistance needed to drive a hook home or fight a fish without losing line. If your reel suffers from "handle slip," grinding noises when stopping, or a failure to lock, this worn component is likely the culprit. This authentic part restores the reel's mechanical integrity and stopping power.
