Product Description
Penn 1185067 (230N-4400) Anti-Reverse Spring: A Vital Component for Dependable Performance
Restore the instant hook-setting power of your Penn reel with the genuine Penn 1185067 Anti-Reverse Spring, also identified by part number 230N-4400. This essential component is crucial for the proper function of the anti-reverse system in several classic Penn Spinfisher reels, preventing the handle from turning backward and ensuring a solid hookset.
Crafted from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the Penn 1185067 spring is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of both freshwater and saltwater angling. Its precise construction ensures a perfect fit and reliable operation, restoring your reel to its original factory performance.
Function and Importance
The anti-reverse spring works in conjunction with the anti-reverse dog and ratchet to engage the system that stops the rotor from spinning in reverse. A worn or broken spring can lead to a sloppy or non-functional anti-reverse, resulting in missed fish and frustration on the water. Replacing a fatigued or damaged spring is a critical maintenance step to ensure the longevity and reliability of your reel.
This specific spring is designed for Penn reels that feature the newer style anti-reverse housing, specifically the 1N-4400 and 1P-4400 housings. This was part of a design update by Penn to improve the anti-reverse mechanism.
Compatible Penn Reel Models
The Penn 1185067 (230N-4400) Anti-Reverse Spring is primarily designed for the following Penn Spinfisher SS models:
-
Penn Spinfisher 4400SS
This part is also known to be compatible with other reels in the Spinfisher 'SS' series that underwent a similar anti-reverse system redesign. It is crucial to verify the schematic for your specific reel model to ensure compatibility, as different production runs may have used different anti-reverse systems. For instance, the Penn 4500SS utilizes a similar spring (part number 230N-5500 / 1185068) as part of its updated anti-reverse system.
To confirm if this is the correct part for your reel, please consult your reel's schematic diagram and check for part number 1185067 or 230N-4400. The housing of your reel should be stamped with either 1N-4400 or 1P-4400. If your housing has a different number, you may require a different anti-reverse spring.
By insisting on genuine Penn replacement parts, you can be confident that your reel will continue to deliver the legendary performance and durability that anglers have trusted for generations.
