Product Description
Mitchell 82699 Rotor (Rotating Head) - High-Speed Replacement for 407 Series
The Mitchell 82699 Rotor, also designated as the Rotating Head, is a high-performance replacement component specifically engineered for the Mitchell 407 high-speed spinning reel series. As a critical part of the retrieve mechanism, this rotor is designed to handle the increased rotational velocities associated with the "400" series' faster gear ratios.
Because the Mitchell 407 is the Right-Hand Wind (RHW) counterpart to the 406, the 82699 rotor features the specific threading and balance weights required for clockwise rotation. This ensures that the bail assembly trips correctly and the line is laid onto the spool with precision, even during the rapid retrieves required for saltwater and fast-water fishing.
Product Specifications & Compatibility
This rotor is a direct fit for the intermediate-frame high-speed Mitchell reels.

Key Features
-
Dynamic Balance: Specifically weighted to counteract vibration at high RPMs, providing a smooth, stable feel during fast retrieves.
-
Heavy-Duty Build: Forged to withstand the higher centrifugal forces generated by high-speed gearing and the torque of larger game fish.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Finished with a marine-grade coating to protect against saltwater spray and harsh environmental conditions.
-
Precision Bail Mounts: Features factory-aligned pivot points to ensure the bail arm operates smoothly and snaps shut reliably every time.
Maintenance & Installation Tip
High-speed rotors like the 82699 are subject to more frequent mechanical stress than standard models. Regular maintenance of the rotor nut and the bail trip mechanism will prevent premature wear.
Recommendation: We strongly recommend Deuthlon Lubrication for this assembly. Apply Deuthlon Power Gear Grease to the internal threads and the trip ramp where the bail meets the body. For the bail hinges and the line roller, a few drops of Deuthlon Cast Lube Oil will ensure frictionless operation and superior protection against salt buildup.
Technical Support & Schematics
To ensure the counterweights and bail trip springs are correctly installed on your 407, please refer to the original PDF schematics at www.reelschematic.com. Following the factory diagram is essential for maintaining the correct balance of the high-speed rotating head.
