Title: Reel ID
Post by: barkley1956 on June 09, 2019, 05:57:21 PM
Hi Guys,

I had emailed Alan these photos looking for an ID. He suggested one of the MAG lines but I didn't have much luck looking through Mystic's website. I need a replacement handle. Look familiar?

Thank you and tight lines!

Right, Alan is, Jimmy —

Likely a Mag Series like a Mag 545.

Many of these handles are interchangeable — likely looking for a part number such as 24-555.

Availability on these is limited, according to Mystic — but no issues, you just need (1).

If no availability when you check with Mo at Mystic — I might have one in the Penn crank bins.

Probably good to break it open and check if a new set of HT-100 drags are needed, along with a new shift lever.

Best,

Fred
