The first run reels of the SSm design, contained a crosswind block with an extra hole drilled in the upper center of the groove where the reel shaft sits, which screwed directly into the shaft itself. This design was unstable, putting too much pressure on the shaft. Newer versions of the reel will contain the original design from the older SS reels: the crosswind block with crosswind plate, secured with two screws.
Notes For Ordering
WE STOCK THE NEWEST VERSION WITH NO HOLE IN THE SHAFT.
If you are replacing the older crosswind shaft with the newer version, you will also need to order the 43A-750 crosswind block plate and [2] 44-750 crosswind block screws (SEE BELOW)

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.
