Product Description
Fin-Nor MF151-01 Harness Lug (SA130)
The Fin-Nor MF151-01 Harness Lug is a heavy-duty structural component engineered for the Fin-Nor Santiago SA130, one of the most powerful big-game reels ever manufactured. This harness lug serves as a critical attachment point for a stand-up harness or fighting chair straps, allowing the angler to transfer the immense torque and pressure of a "grander" class fish from the arms to the back and legs.
Precision-machined from marine-grade stainless steel, this lug is built to withstand the extreme, sustained drag pressures that the SA130 is capable of producing. Replacing a bent or corroded lug is essential for safety, ensuring your connection to the gear remains fail-safe during high-stakes battles with trophy marlin, tuna, or sharks.

Maximum Structural Integrity: Designed to handle the highest drag settings in the industry without shearing or deforming.
-
Ergonomic Positioning: Provides a balanced center of gravity for the reel when hooked into a harness, reducing angler fatigue.
-
Saltwater Proof: Constructed to resist the pitting and oxidation associated with prolonged exposure to tropical marine environments.
-
Direct OEM Fit: A genuine Fin-Nor replacement part that ensures perfect thread alignment with the SA130 frame screws.
Maintenance & Lubrication
Because harness lugs are external components often subject to salt buildup behind the plate, proper lubrication during installation is key to preventing "crevice corrosion" and seizing. We recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants:
-
Corrosion Barrier: Apply a coating of Deuthlon Power Grease to the back of the lug and the mounting screw threads. This creates a waterproof seal that prevents salt from migrating into the frame threads.
-
Mounting Security: Using a small amount of Deuthlon Power Grease on the screw heads prevents salt-crusting, ensuring you can easily remove the lugs for future frame maintenance or deep cleaning.
