Product Description
Mitchell 81560 Cam Ring Assembly – Genuine Replacement Part
The Mitchell 81560 Cam Ring Assembly is a critical internal component designed specifically for the legendary Mitchell 306A spinning reels. This precision-engineered part ensures the smooth engagement and disengagement of the oscillation system, allowing for even line lay and consistent drag performance.
Over time, the cam ring can experience wear or corrosion, leading to "clunky" handle rotation or uneven line winding. Replacing your worn assembly with this genuine-spec part restores the factory-smooth operation that Mitchell reels are famous for.

Maintenance Recommendation
To maximize the lifespan of your new Cam Ring Assembly and ensure the lowest possible friction, we recommend a professional-grade lubrication regimen during installation:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply a thin, even coat to the surface of the cam ring where it interfaces with the drive gear. This high-speed grease provides superior water resistance and "stay-put" properties.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: Use a single drop of ceramic-infused reel oil on the pivot points to ensure instant response and protection against saltwater corrosion.
Why Choose Genuine Replacement Parts?
Using the correct 81560 Cam Ring Assembly ensures that your vintage or modern-classic Mitchell reel maintains its mechanical integrity. This part is manufactured to meet original tolerances, preventing the premature wear of surrounding brass or steel gears that often occurs with generic, ill-fitting substitutes.
