Product Description
Mitchell 82548 Rotor – Genuine Replacement Part
Elevate the performance of your vintage spinning reel with the Mitchell 82548 Rotor (also known as the Rotating Head). This precision-engineered component is central to the line-retrieval system, housing the bail assembly and ensuring perfectly balanced rotation.
Designed for the high-end evolution of the Mitchell 300 family, the 82548 rotor is built to handle the torque and line pressure associated with modern fishing while maintaining the classic feel of a French-made original. Replacing a worn or damaged rotor is the best way to eliminate "rotor wobble" and restore the smooth, silent operation of your reel.

Key Features
-
Advanced Balance: Engineered to minimize vibration during high-speed retrieves, reducing fatigue and gear stress.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Constructed with high-quality alloys to withstand the rigors of freshwater and light saltwater environments.
-
OEM Precision: Guarantees a perfect fit for the bail arm, trip lever, and line roller assemblies without the need for manual adjustment.
Maintenance & Lubrication Recommendation
A new rotor performs best when paired with high-performance lubricants. To protect your investment and ensure maximum smoothness, we recommend using Deuthlon products:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply to the internal rotor nut threads and the contact points of the trip lever. Its high-viscosity formula creates a "damping" effect that quiets mechanical noise.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: Use on the bail arm pivots and the center shaft. This ultra-low friction oil ensures that the bail snaps shut instantly and the rotor spins effortlessly under minimal pressure.
