Product Description
Mitchell 83402 Bail Wire Assembly
Product ID: 83402 Brand: Mitchell
Precision Repair for "10" Size Graphite Reels
Restore the crisp action and reliable line management of your ultralight or light-action Mitchell spinning reel with the Mitchell 83402 Bail Wire. This genuine replacement part is designed specifically for the "10" size graphite body series. A bent bail wire is a common issue that leads to line twist, poor spooling, and failed bail trips. Installing this factory-correct wire ensures your bail clears the rotor arms perfectly and trips automatically every time you turn the handle.

Installation & Maintenance Recommendation
For these lighter reels, the bail mechanism must move with very little resistance. When replacing the wire, it is critical to clean the rotor pivot points and the bail arm to ensure the spring can do its job.
Recommended Lubrication: We recommend Deuthlon lubricants to maintain the finesse performance of these reels:
-
Deuthlon Cast Lube (Ceramic): Apply a drop to the line roller and hinge screws. Its low viscosity ensures the bail moves freely without the "gumminess" of heavy oils.
-
Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease: Use sparingly on the internal trip mechanism to protect against corrosion while maintaining a quick snap.
Schematic Verification
To ensure 83402 is the correct part for your specific reel generation (as similar model numbers spanned several years), please reference the official PDF part diagrams. www.reelschematic.com
Tech Tip: When installing, ensure the bail wire is aligned naturally with the screw holes on the bail arm and line roller side. Forcing a misaligned wire can cause the bail to bind or return sluggishly, regardless of spring tension.
