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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
