HANDLE BLANK INFO:
2022 info Per our Penn parts rep, the handle blank on the 24-FTHii80LD2 handle was able to flex/bend, so they remanufactured the blade.
All inventory as of July 2023 onwards per Penn, is the IMPROVED strengthened blade.
TYPE/FIT: Per a customer a Penn rep has said it is compatible with the earlier FTH 2 Speed reels, which makes it a Type AA in our MysticParts Handle Options. Confirmed by MysticParts placed in our type AA section for
Handle Options Types
FITS: Type [AA-1] Bridge/Sleeve

TYPE AA HANDLE (LIMITED COMPATIBILITY SEE NOTES BELOW)
If a reel is NOT listed, this handle TYPE does not fit.
THE 24-FTHii80LD2 handle and the 24P-FTHii80LD2 handle blade
ARE BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE TO THE FTH LD2 and the TRQ LD and TRQLD2 reels
because 1 of the two holes on that blade will allow the FTHiiLD2 handle to be secured on the other reels.
NON-Compatibility!!!
Because of the FTHiiLD2 shift button design that has TWO screw holes in the blade
NONE OF THE OTHER AA blade handles can be used on the FTHiiLD2 reels
as they aren't compatible with the shifting mechanism required for the Fathom II LD2 reels
So the compatibility does not go in both directions on this set of handles.
Compatibility information UPDATED 5/2025 by the Staff at MysticParts.
NOTES:
All handle screws/locking screws for these reels are compatible with this handle, EXCEPT where noted that the FTHiiLD2 series CANNOT use the OTHER AA type handles (One way compatibility)

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.
