Product Description
Mitchell 82629 Rotor – Genuine Replacement for 330A "Otomatic" Series
Optimize the performance of your specialized automatic-trip spinning reel with the Mitchell 82629 Rotor. This authentic replacement part is engineered specifically for the Mitchell 330A and the legendary "Otomatic" series. The rotor is the primary rotating assembly that carries the bail arm and interacts with the internal trip mechanism to provide the signature automatic bail release that made this series a favorite for match and competition angling.
Precision-balanced to eliminate vibration during high-speed retrieves, the 82629 rotor is essential for maintaining a perfect line lay and ensuring the "click-into-place" reliability of the Mitchell automatic system.

Professional Maintenance & Lubrication
The "Otomatic" mechanism within the rotor is more complex than a standard bail system, requiring high-performance lubrication to ensure the bail fires instantly every time.
-
Bail Trip Mechanism: Use Deuthlon Reel Oil on the bail arm pivot screws and the internal kick-lever. This ultra-light lubricant prevents the mechanism from becoming "sticky" due to old grease or salt buildup, ensuring a crisp, fast response.
-
Pinion & Rotor Nut: Apply a thin film of Deuthlon Reel Grease to the pinion gear threads and the rotor nut during installation. Its "Dust-Shield" properties protect the main shaft interface from moisture and prevent the rotor from seizing over time.
Why Choose Genuine Mitchell 82629?
A rotor must be perfectly factory-weighted to match the internal oscillation speed of the 330 series. The Mitchell 82629 provides the exact clearance required for the specialized bail-trip arm. Using a genuine factory replacement ensures that the bail trip ramp aligns perfectly with the housing, preventing mechanical "hang-ups" and preserving the collector value of your vintage 330A.
