Product Description
Fin-Nor EM012-01 Drive Gear (Primal PR10HS, PR12HS)
Restore the high-speed performance of your lever drag reel with the genuine Fin-Nor EM012-01 Drive Gear. Engineered specifically for the "High Speed" (HS) models of the Fin-Nor Primal series, this main gear allows you to recover line quickly, making it ideal for jigging, kite fishing, or clearing lines rapidly when a fish strikes.
As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component, this gear is precision-cut to match the specific 7.3:1 gear ratio of the Primal HS series. If your current reel feels "gritty" or has lost its smooth cranking ability, replacing the main drive gear (often alongside the pinion) is the best way to return the reel to factory specifications.

Installation & Schematics
Replacing the drive gear involves removing the handle side plate and disassembling the drag stack. For optimal performance, it is highly recommended to inspect the matching Pinion Gear (Key #13) for wear, as gears mate together over time and should ideally be replaced as a set.
