Product Description
Mitchell 82213 Bail Wire Assembly
Product ID: 82213 Brand: Mitchell
Essential Restoration for 206 "Cap" Series
Restore the reliable function of your vintage Mitchell spinning reel with the Mitchell 82213 Bail Wire. This genuine replacement component is engineered specifically for the large-capacity Mitchell 206 series. Often used for heavy freshwater or light surf fishing, these reels require a sturdy bail wire to manage heavier lines. A bent or warped wire is the primary cause of bail spring failure, uneven line spooling, and friction during retrieval. Replace your damaged assembly with this factory-correct part to ensure your reel trips automatically and performs flawlessly.

Installation & Maintenance Recommendation
The bail mechanism on these larger vintage reels relies on strong spring tension. When replacing the wire, we recommend cleaning the rotor arms and checking the bail bumper to ensure the bail stops at the correct angle.
Recommended Lubrication: To keep these durable reels running smoothly, we recommend Deuthlon lubricants:
-
Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease: Apply to the internal bail spring and the trip lever mechanism. This heavy-duty grease prevents corrosion and ensures the bail snaps shut with authority.
-
Deuthlon Cast Lube (Ceramic): Apply a drop to the line guide/roller and the bail hinge screws. This reduces friction and protects the chrome finish from pitting.
Schematic Verification
To ensure 82213 is the correct part for your specific generation of the 206 series, please consult the official PDF part diagrams. www.reelschematic.com
Tech Tip: If your old bail wire is bent, inspect the bail trip lever and the rotor stop. A bent wire often indicates that the bail was forced shut or impacted, which may have damaged the internal trip mechanism as well.
Why Choose This Part?
-
Correct Geometry: Pre-bent to the exact angle required for the 206 rotor.
-
Durability: Heavy-gauge construction to handle the stress of larger fish and heavier lines.
-
Line Safety: Smooth chrome finish prevents abrasion on monofilament.
