Professional Maintenance & Lubrication
The rotor is a high-friction area that interacts with the trip lever and the main baffle plate. To ensure smooth operation and prevent saltwater corrosion, proper lubrication is vital.
-
Bail Pivot Points: Apply Deuthlon Reel Oil to the bail arm screws and the internal springs. This ultra-light lubricant ensures the bail snaps shut instantly and prevents "sticky" bail syndrome.
-
Rotor Nut & Shaft: Apply a thin layer of Deuthlon Reel Grease to the rotor nut threads and the pinion gear interface. Its "Dust-Shield" properties protect against grit and moisture, ensuring the rotor remains securely seated without seizing over time.
Why Choose Genuine Mitchell 82592?
A rotor must be perfectly balanced to prevent vibration during fast retrieves. The Mitchell 82592 is factory-weighted to match the internal oscillation speed of the 300/400 series. Using a genuine replacement ensures that your bail trip mechanism aligns perfectly with the ramp on the housing, providing consistent performance and preventing premature wear on the bail springs.
