Product Description
FIN-NOR DA040-01 Yoke Spring – Santiago ST30 & ST50 Replacement Part
Product Overview
Ensure the reliable gear engagement of your big game tournament reel with this genuine Fin-Nor DA040-01 Yoke Spring. Designed specifically for the heavy-duty Fin-Nor Santiago series (Models ST30 and ST50), these coil springs are critical components of the pinion engagement mechanism.
Located beneath the yoke plate, these springs provide the necessary tension to lift the yoke and disengage the pinion gear when you shift the lever into free spool. If your reel is having trouble entering free spool, or if the lever feels resistant and "mushy," collapsed or corroded yoke springs are often the culprit. Replacing them with fresh, factory-tensioned springs restores the crisp, responsive handling required for targeting marlin, tuna, and sharks.

Schematic Reference
To determine the exact placement and quantity of springs required for your reel (typically used in pairs), please consult the official reel diagrams. You can locate the detailed schematic for the Fin-Nor Santiago ST30 and ST50 at www.reelschematic.com.
Note: Yoke springs are typically installed in pairs under the yoke plate. We highly recommend replacing both simultaneously to ensure even pressure on the pinion gear.
