Product Features

LH Skirted Spool Design: Precision bent to clear the larger skirted spool rotor found on the Mitchell 219.
-
Corrosion Resistant: Chrome-plated finish designed to withstand freshwater use and resist line grooving.

OEM Specification: Matches the exact weight and balance required for the 219 bail trip mechanism.

Installation & Maintenance
Schematics: To ensure correct installation and bail spring tensioning, please consult the PDF schematics available at: www.reelschematic.com
Lubrication Recommendation: To keep the bail pivots moving freely and to prevent corrosion on the wire, we recommend applying Deuthlon ceramic reel grease or oil. Their high-performance formula ensures the bail snaps shut instantly and protects vintage parts from wear.
