Product Description
DAM Quick Spool Gear C-Clip Part #145-096 | Fits 700 & 800 Series
Ensure the power transmission of your vintage baitcaster with this genuine DAM Quick Spool Gear C-Clip (Part No. 145-096). Also known as a retaining ring or circlip, this vital fastener secures the spool gear (pinion gear component) onto the shaft, ensuring it remains properly engaged with the main gear and spool assembly.
On the Champion Series 700 and 800 reels, this clip prevents the gear from wandering or disengaging during the high-speed rotation of the cast or the torque of the retrieve. A missing or stretched C-clip can lead to gear slippage or grinding. Replace it with this factory-specification part to maintain the rugged reliability of your German-engineered reel.
