PLEASE READ!
This strike plate was screwed into the handle side plate on the early International reels. It appears that the strike buttons would hit on it or it was just meant to help keep them in place.
Penn discontinued the part because it really wasn't necessary for it to be there, and it wasn't on all the production runs of the original international reels. It wasn't on later generations of Penn international reels at all.
Penn did not assign a part number to it, so it would be considered non-serviceable and part of the handle side plate on the reels.
To our knowledge, any of these reels may have had this part:
20, 30, 50, 50W, 80, 80W, 130, 130H
They might be a couple of sizes, but would be just long enough to run under all the strike buttons depending on the model size.
I've included customers photos here from the Int 50 and Int 130 reels, just to help people to identify the part if they find it on a reel.
SCREW FOR SPRING also has no Penn part number on file anywhere

11/30/2024 This is the spot if you fix Penn reels. What a awesome shop. Great website. Schematics of reels on hand with available parts list. Best shop around. Since you can't walk into Penn reels in Philly anymore, this is the next best thing. Thanks for your services!!!!! Even parts for vintage reels. Delivery is super quick as well.
10/23/2024 Easy to order parts and they shipped fast. Great seller! Hope to do business with them again! If you do not find what you are looking for do a Google search with Mystic Reel Parts in the search with your model. I have a Penn 285 and 9 and it took me to the exact page for both. Also have the reel schematics.

I luckily found MysticParts via a Google search. Their website is comprehensive and I was at a loss on what I needed. Fortunately the “contact us” option was user friendly. To my delight I got a personalized and VERY helpful response right away. She asked questions to fully understand my needs and then followed up with links to the right parts. We continued our email exchange regarding my second reel issue and, again, she was extremely knowledgeable and gave me both practical as well as professional solutions.
If you need reel parts and assistance with repair and maintenance, do not hesitate to work with them.
