250-15 BAIL SPRING

Product Description

DAM Quick Bail Spring – Part Number 250-15

Restore the Snap: Genuine Bail Spring for DAM Quick 250 Standard

Bring the crisp, reliable action back to your vintage heavyweight reel with this genuine DAM Quick 250-15 Bail Spring. Designed for the DAM Quick 250 Standard, this spring is the "muscle" behind your reel’s casting mechanism.

A weak or broken bail spring is the most common cause of a "lazy bail"—where the bail arm fails to flip back completely after a cast or feels mushy during the retrieve. This high-tension coil spring restores the powerful, decisive snap that the Standard series is famous for, ensuring your line is captured instantly and securely every time you turn the handle.

Key Features & Specifications

• Part Number: 250-15

• Part Type: Bail Return Spring / Torsion Spring

• Material: Tempered high-carbon steel for maximum fatigue resistance and memory retention.

• Tension: Calibrated specifically for the heavy rotor of the Model 250, providing the necessary torque to flip the bail arm.

Model Compatibility

• DAM Quick 250 Standard

Note: The "Standard" series (Models 220 through 250) share a similar aesthetic, but internal components vary by size. This spring is designed for the larger 250 housing. Please verify your reel model matches exactly.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Replacing a bail spring can be tricky due to the tension involved. Patience and the right lubricants are key to a successful repair.

1. Schematic Reference: To understand the correct orientation of the spring legs and the placement of the cover plate, please consult the DAM Quick 250 PDF schematic at www.reelschematic.com.

2. Lubrication: A well-lubricated spring lasts longer and operates smoother.

    

   • We Recommend: Deuthlon Reel Grease for the spring coil itself. A coating of grease prevents rust (a common cause of spring breakage) and cushions the spring against the housing walls.

   • We Recommend: Deuthlon Reel Oil for the bail arm pivot points. This reduces friction, allowing the spring to do its job with less resistance for a faster snap.

Why Choose This Part?

• Reliable Action: Eliminates the frustration of manually closing the bail after every cast.

• Direct Fit: Shaped to fit perfectly into the spring recess of the DAM Quick 250 rotor.

• Restoration Essential: The most important replacement part for keeping a vintage reel fishable.
