WARNING! This handle is for the first run 550SS models, where the shaft of the pivot was a hollow hexagonal shape, which slide into the hexagonal shaped shaft in the original first run main gear, then was secured by a screw on the other side.
It WILL NOT fit on the later models where the handle screws directly into the main gear.
ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION NOTES:
When seated on the reel, on this style handle, the handle collar will NOT seat inside the open bearing cover like the original handle did. Instead, it should seat flush to the collar. Use the 2 larger washers to adjust this if needed.

11/30/2024 This is the spot if you fix Penn reels. What a awesome shop. Great website. Schematics of reels on hand with available parts list. Best shop around. Since you can't walk into Penn reels in Philly anymore, this is the next best thing. Thanks for your services!!!!! Even parts for vintage reels. Delivery is super quick as well.
10/23/2024 Easy to order parts and they shipped fast. Great seller! Hope to do business with them again! If you do not find what you are looking for do a Google search with Mystic Reel Parts in the search with your model. I have a Penn 285 and 9 and it took me to the exact page for both. Also have the reel schematics.

I luckily found MysticParts via a Google search. Their website is comprehensive and I was at a loss on what I needed. Fortunately the “contact us” option was user friendly. To my delight I got a personalized and VERY helpful response right away. She asked questions to fully understand my needs and then followed up with links to the right parts. We continued our email exchange regarding my second reel issue and, again, she was extremely knowledgeable and gave me both practical as well as professional solutions.
If you need reel parts and assistance with repair and maintenance, do not hesitate to work with them.
