Penn 1181387 Dog Spring

Product Description

The PENN 1181387 is a dog spring, a small internal component used in fishing reel mechanisms to tension the anti-reverse dog or pawl assembly. The dog spring applies consistent force to keep the anti-reverse dog seated against the ratchet, preventing reverse rotation of the rotor or spool during use. This type of component is typically serviced by experienced anglers or reel repair technicians performing internal reel maintenance or overhaul.

The PENN 1181387 dog spring is designed for use in PENN fishing reels requiring this specific replacement spring. It is suited to maintenance scenarios where the original spring has fatigued, lost tension, or been lost during disassembly. Service of this type is common in saltwater and freshwater spinning or conventional reel repair.

Key Features

• Maintains anti-reverse dog tension for reliable drag and ratchet engagement
• Direct OEM-style replacement for worn or fatigued original spring
• Small-profile component designed to fit within the reel body assembly
• Supports proper function of the anti-reverse mechanism during retrieval

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM replacement dog spring for PENN fishing reels requiring part number 1181387. Refer to the specific reel model's parts diagram to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Reel repair and internal component replacement should be performed by a qualified reel technician or experienced angler familiar with reel disassembly procedures. Power or line tension should be fully relieved and the reel fully disassembled to the appropriate service depth before replacing internal springs. Small components like dog springs can be easily displaced during reassembly; work on a clean, well-lit surface and follow the manufacturer's exploded parts diagram. Retain all screws and components in a tray during service to prevent loss.
