Product Description
DAM Quick Ratchet Wheel Part #145-203 | Fits 700 & 800 Series
Ensure the reliability of your reel's anti-reverse system with this genuine DAM Quick Ratchet Wheel (Part No. 145-203). This toothed gear sits at the base of the drive shaft assembly and works in tandem with the anti-reverse pawl to prevent the handle from spinning backward.
On the Champion Series 700 and 800 reels, the ratchet wheel endures significant stress during hooksets. If the teeth become rounded or chipped, the anti-reverse dog may slip, causing the handle to "kick back." Replacing a worn ratchet wheel restores the instant, positive lock-up that is critical for fishing performance and safety.

Note: For a complete anti-reverse repair, we recommend inspecting the pawl (dog) and the ratchet wheel simultaneously, as they often wear together.
