Product Description
Mitchell 81021 Trip Lever – Genuine Replacement Part
Restore the precise bail functionality of your classic Mitchell spinning reel with this Genuine Mitchell 81021 Trip Lever. Over time, trip levers can wear down or bend, leading to a "sticky" bail or failure to engage during the cast. This high-quality replacement part ensures your reel operates with the mechanical "snap" it had the day it left the factory.
Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, the 81021 trip lever is designed to withstand the repetitive stress of high-frequency casting. Whether you are performing a seasonal tune-up or a full restoration, using OEM-spec parts is essential for maintaining the value and performance of your vintage gear.

Maintenance & Installation Tip
To ensure the longest possible lifespan for your new trip lever and to guarantee a smooth, effortless bail trip, proper lubrication is vital. During installation, we highly recommend the following:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply a light coating to the pivot points and the contact face of the trip lever to reduce friction and mechanical wear.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: Use a single drop on the spring interface to ensure lightning-fast engagement.
Standard lubricants often thicken in cold weather or wash away in salt air; Deuthlon products are specifically engineered to remain consistent across all temperature ranges, keeping your Mitchell reel in peak fighting form.
