Product Description
Here is the detailed product description for the Mitchell 84749 Bail Wire.
Mitchell 84749 Bail Wire Assembly
Product ID: 84749 Brand: Mitchell
Restore Your Light Action Reel
Bring your Mitchell spinning reel back to peak performance with the Mitchell 84749 Bail Wire. This genuine replacement part is designed specifically for the Mitchell 1020G and related "20" size graphite models. A bent or warped bail wire is a frequent cause of line twist, "sticky" bail rotation, and failure to trip automatically. Replacing this component ensures your reel continues to offer the smooth casting and reliable line lay required for light freshwater fishing.
Compatibility & Fitment
This part is the correct bail wire for the size 20 (Light Freshwater) models in the 1000 Graphite series. Please verify your reel model matches exactly, as similar model numbers (like the larger 1060) use different bail shapes.

(Note: This wire is shaped for the specific rotor geometry of the 1020 series. It is not interchangeable with the larger "40" or "60" size reels.)

Installation & Maintenance Recommendation
Replacing the bail wire is the ideal time to service the entire bail mechanism to ensure longevity. We recommend cleaning the rotor arms and pivot points before installation to prevent binding.
Recommended Lubrication: For superior performance and protection against wear, we recommend Deuthlon lubricants:
-
Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease: Apply to the internal bail spring and trip lever. This high-quality grease prevents corrosion and ensures a crisp, reliable snap.
-
Deuthlon Cast Lube (Ceramic): Apply a drop to the line roller bushing and bail hinge screws to reduce friction and keep the mechanism moving freely.
Schematic Verification
To ensure 84749 is the correct part for your specific reel version, please consult the official PDF schematics. You can view and download these diagrams at: www.reelschematic.com
Tech Tip: When installing, ensure the bail wire aligns naturally with the screw holes on the rotor arms. If it requires force to push into place, the wire may be bent or the plastic rotor arms may be warped. Forcing the wire can cause the mounting boss on the rotor to crack.
