Mitchell 84443 Bail Wire Assembly
Product ID: 84443 Brand: Mitchell
Precision Repair for Ultralight "20" Series Reels
Bring your ultralight Mitchell spinning reel back to life with the Mitchell 84443 Bail Wire. Engineered specifically for the compact "20" size graphite and rear drag series, this genuine replacement part is essential for delicate line management. On ultralight reels, even a slightly bent bail wire can cause significant friction, poor line lay, and failed bail trips. Install this factory-spec wire to restore the smooth, crisp action your finesse fishing demands.

Installation & Maintenance Recommendation
Ultralight reels require minimal resistance for proper operation. When replacing the bail wire, it is critical to clean and lubricate the hinge points to ensure the light bail spring can do its job.
Recommended Lubrication: For finesse applications, we recommend Deuthlon lubricants:
-
Deuthlon Cast Lube (Ceramic): Highly recommended for 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

Tech Tip: On these smaller reels, be careful not to overtighten the bail screws. Overtightening can compress the rotor arms against the bail wire, causing it to bind. Tighten just until snug and check for free movement.
