1181440 (15-116 Dog)

Genuine Penn Dog (part #1181440) — the anti-reverse pawl that catches against the ratchet gear to lock the handle against backward rotation under drag pressure. When this dog wears down or chips, the reel loses reliable anti-reverse function, allowing handle kickback during hard cranking. Cross-references with Penn part number 15-116. OEM replacement ensures perfect fit and factory performance. Available from Offshore Tackle & Repair in Stuart, FL — your trusted source for genuine Penn reel parts.
