Product Description
DAM QUICK 101-397 - Bail Wire, 440
Revitalize your vintage casting machine with this genuine DAM Quick Bail Wire.
The DAM Quick 101-397 Bail Wire is a fundamental external component for the legendary DAM Quick 440 spinning reel. As the primary pickup mechanism, this heavy-gauge wire is responsible for catching the line after a cast and guiding it safely onto the line roller for retrieval. Over time, original bail wires can become bent, scratched, or grooved, leading to poor line management or fraying.
Manufactured to the robust standards of classic German engineering, this replacement wire ensures the correct geometry for reliable bail tripping and smooth rotation. It is an essential part for anglers restoring their Quick 440 to "like-new" mechanical condition.
