Product Overview
Reconstruct the foundation of your big game arsenal with the Fin-Nor MF301-01 Frame Assembly. This genuine factory replacement part serves as the main chassis for the Fin-Nor Santiago SA30, one of the most respected lever drag trolling reels in the offshore world.
Machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, this one-piece frame offers the ultimate structural integrity required to battle massive marlin, tuna, and wahoo. Its rigid design eliminates "frame twist" under extreme drag pressure, ensuring that the gears and spool shaft remain perfectly aligned even when the drag is locked down.
Finished with Fin-Nor’s signature gold anodization, this frame assembly provides maximum resistance to corrosion and wear in saltwater environments. Whether replacing a frame damaged by a fall or performing a complete restoration of a classic Santiago, this OEM part restores the reel to its original factory strength and alignment.

Installation Notes
Replacing the Frame Assembly (MF301-01) constitutes a major rebuild of the reel. It requires the complete transfer of all internal mechanisms—including the spool, drag cam, main gear, and side plates—to the new chassis. It is highly recommended to clean all parts thoroughly and apply fresh marine-grade grease to screws and bearing seats during reassembly to prevent future corrosion and seizing.
Build your legacy on the water with authentic Fin-Nor Santiago parts.
