Product Description
DAM Quick Drag Compression Spring Part #145-073 | Fits 700 & 800 Series
Restore the smooth, progressive resistance of your reel’s fighting power with this genuine DAM Quick Drag Compression Spring (Part No. 145-073). Located within the drag assembly, this heavy-duty coil spring is responsible for exerting consistent pressure on the drag stack, allowing you to fine-tune the tension when fighting hard-pulling fish.
Over time, compression springs can lose their memory or corrode, resulting in a drag system that feels "jerky," lacks range, or fails to reach maximum lock-down pressure. Replacing this fatigued component with a factory-spec spring ensures your Champion Series reel maintains steady, reliable line release, protecting your tippet and securing your catch.
