Product Description
DAM Quick Worm Gear Part #145-769 | Fits 600B Series
Restore the precise line management of your vintage baitcaster with this genuine DAM Quick Worm Gear (Part No. 145-769). Often referred to as the Worm Shaft or Level Wind Shaft, this "infinity screw" is the central component responsible for driving the line guide back and forth across the spool.
Designed specifically for the DAM Quick 600B Champion Series, this shaft features precision-machined grooves that guide the pawl for even line distribution. If your level wind is sticking, skipping, or stacking line to one side, a worn or damaged worm gear is often the culprit. Installing this factory-specification part ensures smooth, consistent line lay, preventing digging and binding during your next cast.

Schematics & Installation References
To identify the correct orientation of the worm gear and its relationship to the pawl and idler gear, please consult the detailed PDF schematics for your model at www.reelschematic.com.
Note: We recommend inspecting the Line Guide Pawl when replacing the Worm Gear, as these two parts wear together. A damaged pawl can quickly ruin a new worm gear.
