Product Description
Fin-Nor Gear Side Cover Assembly Part #JM324-04 | Fits Lethal LTL16II
Protect the precision 2-speed gearing of your lever drag reel with this genuine Fin-Nor Gear Side Cover Assembly (Part No. JM324-04). This is the handle-side side plate (Gear Side) designed specifically for the Fin-Nor Lethal LTL16II.
As the primary enclosure for the reel’s drive train, this cover keeps the main gears, pinion, and drag mechanism aligned and sealed against the elements. Replacement is often necessary if the side plate has been cracked from impact, has stripped screw threads, or is suffering from severe saltwater corrosion ("boat rash"). Restoring this cover ensures your reel maintains the rigid tolerances needed for shifting gears and applying high drag pressure.
