Product Description
Mitchell 81945 Anti-Reverse Dog
Ensure flawless anti-reverse function in your classic Mitchell spinning reel with the genuine Mitchell 81945 Anti-Reverse Dog. This small but critically important component is the heart of your reel's anti-reverse system, preventing the rotor and handle from spinning backward when you stop reeling. A properly functioning A/R Dog ensures solid hooksets, prevents line slack, and provides the necessary control when fighting a fish.
Over years of use, the anti-reverse dog can wear down, become fouled with old grease, or even break, leading to a "slipping" anti-reverse or a complete failure where the handle freely spins backward. Replacing a faulty A/R Dog with this authentic Mitchell part is essential for restoring your reel's original performance and reliability. Manufactured to Mitchell's specifications, this part guarantees a precise fit and the dependable, instant anti-reverse action you rely on.
Whether you're performing routine maintenance on a beloved vintage Mitchell, restoring a classic for future generations, or simply need to fix a current issue, the Mitchell 81945 Anti-Reverse Dog is the key to getting your reel back into perfect working order. Keep your Mitchell reel a dependable workhorse on the water with genuine replacement parts.

Customer service great; part provided did not fit
Purchased anti reverse dog for Mitchel 400. Website stated the part ordered, although not specifically made for a 400, would fit a 400. It did not fit, too large to fit in the available space.

They were the only company that had the part I needed to make my original Mitchell 300 reel perfect again. They were a lifesaver. Will call them first if I have a problem or need a part again.
