Product Description
Mitchell 82206 Bail Spring – Precision Replacement Part
Restore the smooth, reliable operation of your vintage Mitchell spinning reel with the Mitchell 82206 Bail Spring. This critical component is designed to provide the necessary tension for consistent bail firing and retrieval, ensuring your reel performs like the day it left the factory.
Over time, bail springs can lose their elasticity or snap due to fatigue and corrosion. Replacing your worn spring with a high-quality 82206 model prevents "phantom flips" and ensures a crisp, tactile response during every cast.

Maintenance & Installation Tips
To maximize the lifespan of your new bail spring and ensure the smoothest possible bail transition, proper lubrication is essential. We highly recommend using professional-grade lubricants during installation:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply a small amount to the spring housing and the pivot points of the bail arm. This high-performance grease provides a protective barrier against moisture and reduces friction.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: Use a drop of specialized reel oil on the internal coils of the spring to prevent binding and ensure rapid engagement.
