DESIGN CHANGE!
There are two versions of the 8 and 74F parts. One has the hole closer to the shaft so that the spring leg must drop straight down into the hole. The other, the hole is farther out from the shaft and the spring long leg goes out sideways and bends around to hook on.When we order, we get the ones that go farther out from the shaft, so as of 12/2018 we are calling that the newer design.
Penn did not change the part numbers after they changed the parts.
If you need to order a new #8 main gear, make sure you order another #74F as well, so that they are compatible!
8-SSV6500LL main gear requires matching 74F-SSV6500LL spring
11/14/18 our inventory is just the newer spring, as we have 0 of the older ones.

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.
