Product Description
DAM Quick 100-475 Bail Arm (Bail Swing Arm)
Restore the Geometry and Function of Your Bail System
Ensure the smooth operation of your classic spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-475 Bail Arm. This structural component is the pivoting "shoulder" of the bail assembly, connecting the bail wire to the rotor cup. It serves as the primary mounting point for the line roller and screw, allowing the bail to flip effortlessly between the casting and retrieving positions.
On vintage reels like the Quick 330 and 280, the bail arm is often subjected to significant stress. Accidental drops can bend the arm, or years of tension from the bail spring can cause cracks around the pivot screw hole. A bent or damaged arm misaligns the line roller, leading to poor line lay and increased friction. Installing this genuine-specification replacement restores the precise alignment and mechanical integrity required for the reliable performance of your Finessa or Standard series reel.
