Product ID: 84037 Brand: Mitchell
Critical Repair for 2300 Series Rear Drag Reels
Restore the precision line management of your Mitchell spinning reel with this authentic Mitchell 84037 Bail Wire. Designed specifically for the graphite-body 2300 rear drag series, this component is crucial for proper line pickup and smooth casting. A bent or warped bail wire can cause line friction, misaligned spooling, and failed bail trips. Replace your worn assembly with this factory-spec part to ensure your reel performs like new on the water.
Compatibility & Fitment
This part is the specific bail wire for the size 30 models in the 2300 series. Please verify your reel model and generation before purchasing.

Installation & Maintenance Recommendation
When replacing the bail wire, we recommend inspecting the bail spring and trip lever for wear. Proper lubrication is key to a snappy bail action.
Recommended Lubrication:
-
Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease: Apply to the internal spring cavity and trip linkage. This prevents corrosion and ensures the bail snaps back with authority.
-
Deuthlon Cast Lube: Apply a drop to the line roller and hinge screws for friction-free movement.
Schematic Verification
To ensure 84037 is the exact match for your reel (especially if you have a similar model like the 2310 or 2350), please reference the official PDF part diagrams. www.reelschematic.com
Tech Tip: When installing, ensure the bail wire is not under tension when screwed in. If you have to force it to align with the screw holes, the wire may be bent, or the rotor arms may be misaligned, which will cause the bail to bind.
Why Choose This Part?

Perfect Geometry: Pre-bent to the exact angle required for the 2330RD rotor.
-
Line Safety: Smooth finish protects monofilament and braid from abrasion during retrieval.
-
Restored Action: Eliminates "floppy bail" issues caused by warped wires.
