1332839 LATCH SPRING - Phos/Bronze

Product Description

Hardy 1332839 Latch Spring - Phosphor Bronze

Product Description

Revitalize the locking mechanism of your premium fly reel with the Hardy 1332839 Latch Spring. This genuine replacement component is coiled from high-grade Phosphor Bronze, chosen for its excellent elasticity and superior resistance to corrosion in aquatic environments.

Situated between the latch bar and the spool housing (beneath the latch cover), this small compression spring provides the critical tension required to keep the latch bar engaged with the spindle groove. If your spool release feels "mushy" or fails to snap back into the locked position, a fatigued or corroded spring is the most likely cause. Installing this factory-specification part restores the crisp, positive action of your spool release, ensuring your spool stays secure on the water.

Maintenance Recommendation

Phosphor Bronze is naturally resistant to rust, but salt accumulation can still impede movement. We recommend applying a drop of Deuthlon Reel Oil to the spring and the surrounding latch cavity during assembly. This ensures the spring compresses freely and protects the adjacent alloy surfaces from galvanic corrosion.
