Product Description
Here is the detailed product description for the Mitchell 84762 Bail Wire.
Mitchell 84762 Bail Wire Assembly
Product ID: 84762 Brand: Mitchell
Restore Your Medium Action Graphite Reel
Bring your Mitchell spinning reel back to optimal working condition with the Mitchell 84762 Bail Wire. This genuine replacement part is designed specifically for the Mitchell 1040G and related "40" size graphite models. A bent or warped bail wire is a frequent cause of line management issues, including friction during retrieval and failure of the bail to flip automatically. Replacing this component ensures your reel continues to offer the smooth casting and reliable line lay it was built for.
Compatibility & Fitment
This part is the correct bail wire for the size 40 (Medium Freshwater) models in the 1000 Graphite series. Please verify your reel model matches exactly, as similar model numbers (like the smaller 1020 or larger 1060) use different bail shapes.

(Note: This wire is shaped for the specific rotor geometry of the 1040 series. It is not interchangeable with the smaller "20" or larger "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 84762 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.
