Product Description
Fin-Nor FM301-01 Frame Assembly | Primal Lever Drag Replacement
Restore the structural integrity and precision alignment of your reel with the Fin-Nor FM301-01 Frame Assembly. This genuine factory replacement frame is the central chassis for the Primal series, a reel known for its compact power and high-speed retrieval.
The frame is the most critical component for maintaining the alignment of the spool, drive train, and lever drag system. Machined from high-strength aluminum, the FM301-01 is designed to withstand the heavy torque and corrosive environments encountered during saltwater jigging and bottom fishing. Replacing a warped or corroded frame is essential to prevent gear binding and ensure a smooth free-spool.

Recommended Maintenance: Deuthlon Lubrication
During the reassembly of your Primal reel into the new FM301-01 frame, we highly recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants to ensure longevity and smoothness:
-
Frame Mating Surfaces: Apply a thin layer of Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease to the contact points where the side plates meet the frame. This creates a superior waterproof seal against salt spray.
-
Main Gear & Pinion: Use Deuthlon Fishing Reel Gear Grease on the internal drive system. This specialized formula adheres to the gear teeth under high pressure, preventing metal-on-metal wear and salt crystallization.
-
Bearing Seats: Treat the bearing pockets within the frame with Deuthlon Cast Lube. This ensures the bearings sit securely while remaining protected from oxidation and corrosion.
Deuthlon’s synthetic technology is specifically designed for the high-load, high-heat environments typical of lever drag reels, providing a level of protection that standard marine greases cannot offer.
