Product Description
DAM Quick Tension Spring Part #145-072 | Fits 700 & 800 Series
Maintain the precise mechanical function of your Champion Series reel with this genuine DAM Quick Tension Spring (Part No. 145-072). As a vital internal component, this spring provides the necessary resistance and return force for your reel's actuation systems, ensuring that levers and pawls engage crisply and hold their position during operation.
Over time, small tension springs can lose their elasticity, stretch, or corrode, leading to sloppy engagement or failure of the anti-reverse or clutch mechanisms. Installing this factory-correct replacement restores the tight, responsive feel characteristic of German-engineered DAM Quick reels, safeguarding your reel against mechanical slippage when it matters most.
