This genuine replacement knob is designed for use with Penn reels. Drag function on your reel allows line to slip instead of breaking under the pressure of a sudden, or heavy pull by an above-average fish. This knob is made out of plastic with metal nut and it is sold individually. To complete this repair no tools are needed simply pull off the old knob and secure the new one in place.

Perfect. I was surprised you carried reel parts. I have used you in past and the parts I've needed have been weird ones. You've come through every time. I'll start using you more. Easy access etc. etc. which is unusual today. Thank you jim

Parts never shipped.
While checking on this order it took a week and a half to get a real person to answer me. And then it took Me and USPS to get to the bottom of the problem.
Yes I did get reimbursed , but that was not what I was looking for. I needed the Parts.

Wrong item sent
I made a mistake when ordering using autocorrect on tablet. Address was not filled out properly. Immediate contacted about issue and gave correct address. Item was shipped to wrong address even though correct one was provided. Contacted customer service and they said it should still get to me. Item took 4-5 days to get to me . Turns out they shipped me a part that was not even close to what I ordered. My experience was bad and I probably wouldnt order from again. He only good thing is that it seems like they have a lot of inventory but I cant tell you if you will get the right piece based on my experience.
