Product Description
Amundson TMX 5 Moocher Dog Spring
Ensure your downrigger fishing remains precise and reliable with the Amundson TMX 5 Moocher Dog Spring. This essential internal component provides the necessary tension for the reel's pawl (dog) engagement, ensuring a crisp, consistent click and preventing unwanted back-play during heavy strikes.
Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, this spring is engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of saltwater mooching. Over time, factory springs can lose their "spring rate" or succumb to corrosion; replacing your dog spring is a cost-effective way to restore that "like-new" mechanical feel to your TMX 5.
