Product Description
Mitchell 84042 Bail Wire Assembly

Restore Precise Bail Operation
Ensure reliable line pickup and smooth casting with the Mitchell 84042 Bail Wire. Engineered specifically for the Mitchell 1100 series rear drag spinning reels, this genuine replacement part is critical for the proper functioning of your reel's bail system. A bent or damaged bail wire often leads to bail spring failure, line twist, and incomplete bail tripping. Replace your worn or warped bail wire with this factory-specification component to restore your reel's original performance.
Compatibility & Fitment
This bail wire is designed to fit the size 40 rotor of the Mitchell 1100 Rear Drag series. Please confirm your specific model and generation using the reel schematic.

Installation & Maintenance Recommendation
Replacing the bail wire provides an excellent opportunity to service the bail spring and pivot points. Proper lubrication prevents premature wear and ensures a crisp bail return.
Recommended Lubrication: We recommend Deuthlon advanced lubricants for superior protection:
-
Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease: Ideal for the internal bail spring and trip lever mechanism to ensure smooth, snappy actuation.
-
Deuthlon Cast Lube (Ceramic): Apply a drop to the line roller and bail hinge screws to reduce friction and protect against corrosion.
Schematic Verification
To verify that part 84042 is the correct component for your specific reel version, we recommend consulting the official PDF schematics. You can view and download these diagrams at: www.reelschematic.com
Tech Tip: If your bail is not closing completely, check the bail wire alignment. A bent wire can create tension on the rotor arms, causing the mechanism to bind even if the spring is new.
