Product Description
DAM Quick 100-060 Bail Spring
Restore the Automatic Action of Your Vintage Reel
Bring the reliable snap back to your casting game with the DAM Quick 100-060 Bail Spring. This precision-wound torsion spring is the heartbeat of the bail assembly for the classic "Junior" series of DAM Quick reels. It provides the torque necessary to flip the bail arm from the open casting position back to the retrieval position the instant you turn the handle.
On vintage reels, the bail spring is the most common component to fail due to metal fatigue or corrosion from years of storage. A broken spring forces the angler to manually close the bail after every cast—a frustration that can cost you fish. Installing this genuine-specification replacement ensures your reel operates as intended, delivering the smooth, automatic bail return that made these German-engineered reels famous.
