Mitchell 82751 Spring Assembly – Genuine Replacement for 720 Series
Enhance the reliability of your vintage Mitchell ultralight spinning reel with the Mitchell 82751 Spring Assembly. This critical component is designed specifically for the Mitchell 720 and its variants, serving as a primary tensioning element for the internal mechanics. Whether it is supporting the anti-reverse system or the bail trip mechanism (depending on the specific sub-model generation), the 82751 spring is essential for providing the crisp, responsive mechanical feedback these compact reels are known for.
Precision-wound from high-tensile stainless steel, this genuine spring assembly is built to resist fatigue and corrosion, ensuring your ultralight tackle remains "field-ready" for years to come.

-
Mitchell 720 Fly Reel
Technical Insight: Reels like the Mitchell 720 rely on precise spring tension to operate correctly. A weak or rusted spring can cause the anti-reverse to slip or the bail to become sluggish.

Professional Maintenance & Lubrication
Because ultralight reels have smaller, more delicate internal parts, choosing the right lubricant is vital to prevent "gumming up" the action.
-
Spring & Pivot Tension: We recommend a light application of Deuthlon Reel Oil on the 82751 spring and its contact points. This ultra-low friction oil ensures the spring moves freely without resistance and provides a superior barrier against moisture and rust.
-
Gear Interface: For the small gears adjacent to the spring assembly, apply a small amount of Deuthlon Reel Grease. Its specialized "Dust-Shield" technology keeps the gears lubricated without attracting the debris that can often jam smaller ultralight mechanisms.
Why Choose Genuine Mitchell 82751?
The tension of a spring is calculated specifically for the weight and throw of the Mitchell 720’s internal levers. Using a generic or hardware-store spring can result in mechanical binding or premature part failure. The Mitchell 82751 provides the exact factory-spec tension required to restore your reel to its original out-of-the-box performance, preserving both its utility and collector value.
