Product Description
DAM Quick Drive Gear Part #145-509 | Fits 700 & 800 Series
Revitalize the core performance of your classic baitcaster with this genuine DAM Quick Drive Gear (Part No. 145-509). Also known as the Main Gear, this is the primary engine of your reel, translating the handle's rotation into the power needed to retrieve heavy lures and fight strong fish.
Designed for the standard Champion Series 700 and 800 models, this gear is precision-cut to original German engineering specifications. Over time, main gears can suffer from tooth wear, pitting, or stripped teeth, leading to a "coffee grinder" feel or slippage under load. Installing this replacement restores the smooth, silent, and powerful cranking action that these legendary reels were famous for.
