Product Description
MITCHELL 86356 BODY – Mitchell 306 PRO Series Housing
The Mitchell 86356 Body is the premium replacement chassis for the Mitchell 306 PRO spinning reel. Engineered specifically for the "PRO" series, this main housing features reinforced construction and high-tolerance machining to support the advanced performance demands of serious saltwater and freshwater anglers. As the central structural unit, the 86356 body ensures that your internal gears, bearings, and oscillation system stay in perfect alignment even under the heavy pressure of a large fish.

Maintenance & Performance Optimization
Because the Mitchell 306 PRO is designed for high-stress environments, the 86356 body must be properly lubricated to protect against saltwater intrusion and mechanical friction.
We highly recommend using Deuthlon Lubricants for all professional reel services:
-
Deuthlon Power Gear Grease: Apply a thin layer to the internal bearing seats and gear raceways inside the body to provide an airtight moisture seal and reduce gear vibration.
-
Deuthlon Reel Orchid Oil: Apply to the anti-reverse lever pivot and the external handle threads to maintain smooth operation and prevent the seizing of parts in marine conditions.
Key Features
-
PRO-Series Build: Enhanced structural rigidity to minimize frame flex during heavy retrieves.
-
High-Tolerance Casting: Ensures the drive gear and pinion gear maintain an exact 90-degree interface for maximum power transfer.
-
Corrosion Protection: Features a premium finish designed to withstand the corrosive effects of salt spray and UV exposure.
