Product Description
Penn Reel Part 1184349 (98-320) – Gear Sleeve (Bridge Sleeve)
Ensure the smooth operation of your cranking system with the genuine Penn 1184349 Gear Sleeve. This component, often called the Bridge Sleeve, is the central shaft upon which your main gear and drag stack sit. It connects the handle to the internal gearing, transferring your cranking power directly to the spool.
If you are experiencing "handle wobble," stripped threads where the star drag attaches, or rounded teeth where the anti-reverse dog engages, it is time to replace this critical part. This OEM replacement ensures your drag system tightens correctly and your anti-reverse holds firm under load.
