Product Description
Mitchell 84506 Bail Wire Assembly
Product ID: 84506 Brand: Mitchell
Essential Repair for Heavy-Duty 70-Series Reels
Restore the reliable performance of your large-capacity Mitchell spinning reel with the Mitchell 84506 Bail Wire. Designed specifically for the robust "70" size rear drag series, this genuine replacement part is built to handle heavy lines and big fish. A bent bail wire on these larger reels often leads to significant line twist, uneven spooling, and difficult bail closure. Install this factory-spec wire to ensure your reel trips automatically and operates smoothly under load.

Installation & Maintenance Recommendation
Larger reels generate more torque and stress on the bail mechanism. When replacing the wire, it is vital to clean the heavy-duty springs and pivot points to prevent binding.
Recommended Lubrication: To withstand the pressures of heavy-duty fishing, we recommend Deuthlon lubricants:
-
Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease: Apply generously to the internal trip mechanism and spring. Its water-resistant formula protects against salt corrosion and ensures the heavy bail snaps shut.
-
Deuthlon Cast Lube (Ceramic): Apply to the large line roller and hinge screws to minimize friction and ensure the roller turns freely under heavy drag pressure.

Tech Tip: On these large 70-series reels, check the bail arm (the plastic or metal piece the wire attaches to) for cracks. A bent wire often transfers stress to the arm. Ensure both are in good condition for optimal performance.

-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Thicker gauge wire to resist bending from impacts or heavy drag.
