Parts for Shimano Triton Mag

[Bill_N]

Picked up this Triton Mag Mark III but it's missing the rod clamp. Is there a parts source for these reels? I did a quick search last night and came up dry

i usually just hobble together clamps from the different odd parts that i have laying around.  a photo of the bottom of the reel would help, plus measuring the maximum and minimum distances from center to center for the clamp bolts.  not sure if you really need a clamp for this reel, but that's the info needed.  can you let us know?  thanks!  alan

I agree that you could get away without a clamp but it seems designed to be used with one as the posts aren't removeable from the bottom. The reel is slightly bigger than a 501 Jigmaster and seems to have all kinds of drag so it wouldn't hurt to have one. I've seen pics of these reels with a graphite clamp and was hoping to order a new one. I don't have anything that fits.

The posts are .235 diameter and they're 1.420 apart center to center, and .450 in height.

got it!  Send a pm and I'll get it out to you. The screw should be an M4 (4mm diameter).

The fit should be perfect.
