Product Description
Mitchell 81751 Screw – Genuine Replacement Part
The Mitchell 81751 Screw is a specialized hardware component utilized primarily in Mitchell’s heavy-duty conventional and trolling reels. In many configurations, this screw serves as the Rod Clamp Nut/Screw or a specialized frame fastener, providing the essential clamping force needed to secure large-frame reels to heavy-action fishing rods.
Given the extreme environments these reels inhabit—ranging from salt spray on offshore boats to high-vibration transport—this screw is engineered to maintain high tension without loosening. Replacing a lost or corroded 81751 screw is vital for ensuring your reel remains rock-solid on the rod seat during high-pressure battles.

OEM Standard: A direct replacement that ensures the safety and structural integrity of your heavy-tackle setup.
Maintenance & Lubrication Recommendation
Because rod clamp screws are often set and left for long periods, they are highly prone to "freezing" due to salt crystal buildup. To prevent this, we recommend Deuthlon products:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply a generous coating to the threads of the 81751 screw before installation. Its "Aqua Shield" technology provides a waterproof barrier that prevents galvanic corrosion between the screw and the frame.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: For reels used in extreme saltwater conditions, a light drop of oil on the screw head will help shed water and prevent the drive slot from filling with salt or rust.
