Product Description
PENN 1188712 STAR CLICK SPRING 10C-525MAG2: A Detailed Look
The PENN 1188712, also known by the part number 10C-525MAG2, is a crucial genuine replacement part for a range of popular PENN conventional fishing reels. This small but vital component, the Star Click Spring, is responsible for the audible and tactile "clicking" feedback when adjusting the star drag. This allows for precise and confident drag settings while in the heat of a battle with a fish.
Function and Importance
Located within the star drag mechanism, this spring provides tension against the star drag wheel. As the angler turns the star, the spring engages with notches or teeth on the adjoining components, creating the distinct clicking sound and feel. This feedback is essential for making incremental drag adjustments without having to guess the pressure being applied. A worn or broken star click spring will result in a silent and smooth drag adjustment, removing this critical feedback and potentially leading to improper drag settings.
Construction and Durability
Crafted from high-quality, corrosion-resistant metal, the PENN 1188712 Star Click Spring is built to withstand the harsh saltwater environment that PENN reels are famous for. Its precise engineering ensures a perfect fit and reliable performance, restoring the original feel and function of the reel's drag system.

The PENN 1188712 Star Click Spring is compatible with a wide array of PENN conventional reels, primarily within the Fathom, Squall, and the venerable 525MAG series. Ensuring you have the correct part for your reel is crucial for proper function and longevity.
