1181607 (18-9 Clutch Spring)

Genuine Penn Clutch Spring (part #1181607) — the dome-shaped spring washer that provides tension on the clutch mechanism, enabling smooth and reliable free-spool engagement and disengagement. A worn or flattened clutch spring causes the reel to pop out of gear or fail to engage free spool properly, leading to missed hooksets and lost fish. Cross-references with Penn part number 18-9. OEM replacement ensures perfect fit and factory performance. Available from Offshore Tackle & Repair in Stuart, FL — your trusted source for genuine Penn reel parts.
