Essential Replacement Part for Classic Penn Reels: The Penn 1181405 (14-500) Dog Spring
For anglers who rely on the legendary durability of Penn fishing reels, ensuring every component is in optimal working order is paramount to a successful day on the water. The Penn 1181405 Spring-Dog (Part No. 14-500) is a crucial and genuine factory replacement part designed to maintain the integrity and performance of a wide range of classic Penn conventional and fly reels. This high-quality coil spring is essential for the proper function of the reel's anti-reverse system.
The Critical Role of the Dog Spring
The dog spring, also known as an anti-reverse pawl spring, applies constant tension to the anti-reverse dog (or pawl). This mechanism is fundamental to a reel's operation, as it engages with the teeth of the main gear's ratchet to prevent the handle from spinning in reverse. A worn, corroded, or missing dog spring can lead to a failure of the anti-reverse system, resulting in a loss of hook-setting power and control over your line and, ultimately, lost fish. Replacing a faulty dog spring with the Penn 1181405 is a straightforward and cost-effective way to restore your reel's solid and reliable performance.
Built to Last
Crafted from durable, corrosion-resistant metal, the Penn 1181405 is manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original parts that have made Penn reels a benchmark for quality and toughness in the fishing world for decades. This ensures a precise fit and long-lasting service, even in harsh saltwater environments.
