Product Description
DAIWA WORM SHIELD (F59-6501 / 6F596501)
Protect the critical level wind mechanism of your electric reel with this genuine Daiwa replacement guard.
The Daiwa F59-6501 Worm Shield (also identified as 6F596501) is the protective cover designed for the level wind assembly on Daiwa's 750-class electric reels. This shield sits directly in front of the worm shaft, preventing line tangles, reducing saltwater intrusion, and protecting the delicate worm gear from impact damage during transport or heavy use.
If your original shield is cracked, missing, or has loose screw mounts, replacing it is vital to keep your level wind system clean and functioning smoothly. This is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part.

Why Replace Your Worm Shield?
The worm shield is the "bumper" for your reel's delicate level wind system. It often absorbs the impact if the reel is dropped or banged against the gunwale. A cracked shield can allow salt spray to directly attack the worm shaft grease, leading to corrosion and seized level winds. Additionally, a broken shield can snag your braided line, causing frays or breaks under tension.
Tech Tip: This part is held in place by side screws. When installing, do not overtighten, as the composite material can crack. Ensure the Level Wind Post is seated correctly behind the shield before securing.
