THIS PART HAS BEEN REPLACED BY 81-16VS AND 9-16VS

Design Change As of REV. 11/18/05

The first series 16VSX reels did not have a spacing sleeve (9-16VS) or the specific ratchet (81-16VS).

The replacement ratchet (81-16VS) has a smaller center hole diameter to hold the spacing sleeve (9-16VS) and spool bearing (20-722) inside the core of the spool. The use of the new parts eliminate the use of the retaining ring (173-16VS).

If your 16VSX has the original arrangement, it is recommended to purchase the two parts: ratchet (81-16VS) and spacing sleeve (9-16VS) to complete the upgrade.

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.
