Product Description
DAM Quick Brake Weight (Light) Part #145-180 | Fits 700 & 800 Series
Fine-tune the casting performance of your Champion Series reel with this genuine DAM Quick Brake Weight, Light (Part No. 145-180). As a critical component of the centrifugal braking system, these weights (often called brake blocks or shoes) slide onto the spool shaft cross-pins to control spool speed during the cast.
This specific "Light" version is designed to offer less friction than standard or heavy weights, allowing for higher spool speeds and longer distances when throwing lighter lures. Whether you are customizing your reel's cast control or replacing lost components, these brake weights are essential for preventing backlash while maximizing the potential of your vintage German-engineered baitcaster.
