Product Description
DAM Quick Bail Wire – Part Number 100-613
Revive Your Surf Legend: Genuine Bail Wire for DAM Quick 270 Super
Restore the reliable line pickup of your heavy-duty vintage reel with this genuine DAM Quick 100-613 Bail Wire. Specifically engineered for the legendary "Super" series, this robust metal wire is critical for proper casting function and rotor balance.
The DAM Quick 270 Super is renowned as a saltwater powerhouse, but after decades of surf fishing, the original bail wire can become bent, corroded, or misaligned. A compromised bail wire causes severe rotor wobble during the retrieve and can prevent the bail from locking open during your cast. Installing this factory-spec replacement ensures your reel maintains the perfect geometry required for long-distance casting and smooth line management.
