IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR 5500 Reels
REPAIR PARTS ONLY, UPGRADE NO LONGER POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anti-Reverse (A/R) System, Housing and Gear Changes:
This was revised in the newer models manufactured since February 2001.
Penn Said:
"You can tell if a reel already has the new system installed by looking at the lable on the bearing cover (part #233) any reel with a RED dot in the center of the label has the old system. Newer Reels With A GOLD/SILVER DOT has the NEW system."
This was referring to the dot on the closed bearing cover #233 (opposite handle). HOWEVER! If you lost your bearing cover and replaced it, you could have the wrong color dot anyway. So it may be best to ignore this method of identification.
Newer housings will be marked with either 1N-4500 or 1P-4500 on the inside. ALSO - look at the dog - the older dog has pinchable wings, the newer dog does not, it has a cut in it for the spring to sit in.
IDENTIFYING OLD/NEW HOUSING
A newer housing can also be identified by the post that the crosswind gear sits on.
On the Older housing 1-5500, the post for the crosswind gear is a straight up/down peg.
On the Newer housings 1N-5500 or 1P-5500, the post for the crosswind gear is cone shaped, wider at the bottom.
See PHOTOS below comparing gears and dogs as well.

The original 1-5500 Housing for the older reels is discontinued and no longer available. If you have to replace the housing, you will need to order all of the parts in the "New 5500 A/R System" section. |
This is the inbetween housing where they were starting to use newer parts, but hadn't changed the post for the crosswind block on the housing yet. 1N- used the older style crosswind gear. On the 1P-, the post went bigger and the hole in the crosswind gear is also bigger. |
These parts will ONLY work in the reels that already have the SLOT ON THE DOG POST that accepts the c-clip. Old style dogs will still be available for reels not having the slotted dog post. A small amount of grease should be applied to the groove located on the ratchet before installing the spring, a small amount of grease should also be applied to the dog post. |

12/21/2023 Got it! Its perfect. Thank you so much. It was just on a whim that I even searched for this part. Hard to believe that I could get a reel part for a reel that is 30 plus years old. Thanks again,
1/16/2024 Comprehensive parts list, easy to order, and prompt service. I will definitely use them again.
1/4/2024 Quite a few years doing business with great folks. Simply the best. Thanks for your commitment to the business 👍
