Product Description
Fin-Nor DAF301-01 Body Assembly | Offshore OFS 10500 Replacement
The Fin-Nor DAF301-01 Body Assembly is the foundational chassis for the largest and most powerful reel in the Offshore series, the OFS 10500. This heavy-duty replacement frame is engineered to provide the rigid support necessary for Fin-Nor’s oversized gearing and massive MegaDrag system, ensuring all internal components stay in perfect alignment under the extreme torque of big-game saltwater fishing.
Constructed from a corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, this body is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of deep-sea environments. Replacing a damaged or salt-pitted frame is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of your reel and preventing gear binding during high-pressure battles with tuna, sharks, and billfish.

Recommended Maintenance: Deuthlon Lubrication
To protect your investment and ensure maximum performance in saltwater, we highly recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants during the reassembly of your Offshore reel:
-
Internal Gear Housing: Apply Deuthlon Fishing Reel Gear Grease to the main drive gear and pinion gear. Its "polarization" technology creates a superior bond that resists water washout and salt crystallization.
-
Body & Side Plate Seals: Lightly coat the mating surfaces of the body and side cover with Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease to create a waterproof barrier against salt spray.
-
Bearing Support: Use Deuthlon Cast Lube on the pinion and drive gear bearings for ultra-low friction and long-term protection against corrosion.
Standard marine lubricants often thin out under the high temperatures generated by the OFS 10500’s 60lb drag; Deuthlon provides the structural stability required for heavy-duty applications.
