Drag Washer, Keyed Small 1183937

This drag washer is a genuine OEM component which is made for use with Penn fishing reels. The purpose of this part is to provide a tight seal between components of the drag mechanism. If the fish pulls on the line hard enough, the reel will rotate backwards, letting the line out and preventing the line from breaking. Over time the drag washer will wear out and it may begin to fail eventually requiring a replacement. Check the diagram for your model to ensure the exact location and the correct application. You will need a screwdriver to take the reel apart when performing this repair. Note, this high-quality drag washer is made of durable metal and is sold individually.
