Product Description
Mitchell 84292 Bail Wire Assembly
Product ID: 84292 Brand: Mitchell
Essential Repair for "40" Size Graphite Reels
Restore the crisp action and reliable line management of your favorite Mitchell spinning reel with the Mitchell 84292 Bail Wire. This genuine replacement part is designed for the popular "40" size graphite and rear drag series. Over time, bail wires can become bent or warped from storage or impact, leading to friction in the bail hinge and causing the bail to stick halfway. Installing this factory-correct wire ensures your bail trips automatically and lays line evenly across the spool.

Installation & Maintenance Recommendation
A smooth bail system requires more than just a straight wire; it needs proper lubrication. When installing this part, clean the rotor arms and apply fresh lubricant to the pivot points.
Recommended Lubrication: For optimal performance and longevity, we recommend Deuthlon lubricants:
-
Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease: Apply to the internal spring cavity and trip linkage. This grease stays in place and ensures a powerful, consistent snap.
-
Deuthlon Cast Lube (Ceramic): Perfect for the line roller and bail hinge screws. It provides ultra-low friction for effortless movement and enhanced corrosion protection.
Schematic Verification
To ensure 84292 is the exact match for your reel generation (as some model numbers span multiple years), please reference the official PDF part diagrams. www.reelschematic.com
Tech Tip: When installing, ensure the 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 "sluggish" return, regardless of spring tension.
