Installation & Maintenance Recommendations
To maximize the lifespan of this rare component and ensure the smoothest possible drag engagement, proper lubrication is critical during installation.
-
Lubrication: We highly recommend using Deuthlon Reel Grease on the contact points where the spring meets the pawl. This minimizes metal-on-metal friction and prevents premature wear.
-
Corrosion Protection: Apply a light coating of Deuthlon Reel Oil to the entire spring surface to provide a protective barrier against moisture and oxidation, especially if fishing in brackish or humid environments.
Why Original Hardy Parts Matter?
Using authentic Hardy parts like the 1332712 spring ensures that your reel retains its resale value and continues to operate according to the manufacturer's original specifications. Generic springs often lack the exact tension required, which can lead to an inconsistent drag or a dampened "click" sound. Secure this rare part today to keep your Golden Prince 11/12 in peak hook-setting condition.
