Product Description
DAM Quick 110-492 Lever - SLS 5
Restore the heavy-duty stopping power of your surf reel with this genuine DAM Quick Lever replacement.
The 110-492 Lever serves as the Anti-Reverse Pawl (also known as the Stop Pawl or Dog) for the massive DAM Quick SLS 5. In a reel designed for big game and surf casting, the anti-reverse system must withstand extreme shock loads during hook sets and heavy fights. This pawl locks into the ratchet gear to prevent the handle from spinning backward. If your SLS 5 is slipping, failing to lock instantly, or making a clicking sound without engaging, this worn lever is the likely point of failure. This authentic part restores the structural integrity needed to handle heavy drag pressure.
