Product Description
DAM Quick 100-059 Bail Spring
Restore the Snappy Action of Your Heavy-Duty Reel
Bring the automatic bail return functionality back to your large-capacity spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-059 Bail Spring. This heavy-gauge torsion spring is the powerhouse behind the bail arm of the legendary DAM Quick 550 series. It stores the energy required to flip the bail wire back into the retrieval position the moment you turn the handle.
On big-game reels like the 550, the bail spring is under significant tension and stress. Over decades of use, these springs are prone to metal fatigue, losing their torque, or snapping completely due to saltwater corrosion. A weak or broken spring forces you to manually close the bail, which can cost you precious seconds when a fish strikes. Installing this genuine-specification replacement ensures your bail snaps shut with authority, ready for the next cast.

Installation Tip: Ensure the "legs" of the spring are seated correctly in their respective holes (one in the bail arm, one in the rotor) before tightening the cover plate. Incorrect installation can result in a bail that works backward or not at all.
