Product Description
DAM Quick Guide Tube Part #145-773 | Fits 800 & 800B Series
Restore the smooth, consistent line lay of your wide-spool baitcaster with this genuine DAM Quick Guide Tube (Part No. 145-773). Also referred to as the Worm Shield or Worm Guard, this essential component encases the worm shaft, protecting it from debris while providing a stable, frictionless track for the line guide carriage to travel along.
Designed specifically for the wider frame of the Champion Series 800 and 800B reels, this tube ensures your level wind system operates without binding. A dented, bent, or corroded guide tube will cause the carriage to hang up, resulting in uneven line distribution and potential damage to the drive train. Installing this factory-correct replacement ensures your reel maintains the fluid mechanical action required for heavy-duty fishing.
