IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR 450SS and 550SS Reels

Regarding early run and later run handle versions.

partimage

The current handles have a different pivot design, because Penn redesigned the main gear at some point. Early reels had the chrome handle, which has a hexagonal shaped pivot that slides through the main gear and is secured on the other side with a screw. The reels made later on have the 8-450 main gear, which is threaded. The 15N-550 handle has a pivot which is also threaded and screws directly into the main gear itself.In order to convert over to this handle, you would need to change the main gear 8-450. It is recommend that you change the pinion gear as well, since pinion gear/main gear wear down together - you would have to check the condition of your pinion gears teeth.
Pinion Gears are different on the two reels:
450ss uses 19-450
550ss uses 19-550

12/21/2023 Got it! Its perfect. Thank you so much. It was just on a whim that I even searched for this part. Hard to believe that I could get a reel part for a reel that is 30 plus years old. Thanks again,
