Product Description
DAM Quick 100-816 – Bail Wire, Models 240, 245, 247, 248 Replacement Part
Product Overview
Restore the smooth casting and reliable line retrieval of your vintage German spinning reel with this genuine DAM Quick 100-816 Bail Wire. Designed to fit a specific range of classic DAM Quick models (including the "Junior" series), this heavy-gauge wire is the primary component of the bail assembly. It functions to capture the line after a cast and guide it seamlessly onto the line roller.
Due to its exposed position, the bail wire is often the first component to suffer from bending during storage or transport. A warped bail wire can cause the reel to wobble, prevent the bail from locking open during a cast, or cause the line to snag. Replacing it with this factory-spec component ensures proper balance, correct geometry, and the crisp mechanical snap these vintage reels are renowned for.
