Restore Your Reel's Performance
Bring your Mitchell spinning reel back to factory specifications with the Mitchell 85213 Bail Wire. This genuine replacement component is designed for select modern Mitchell graphite series reels, ensuring crisp bail operation and superior line management. A bent or warped bail wire is a common cause of line friction, casting knots, and "sticky" bail trips. Replace your damaged assembly with this precision-engineered wire to restore the smooth, reliable action you expect on the water.

Installation & Maintenance Recommendation
When installing a new bail wire, it is critical to ensure the bail mechanism moves freely. We recommend servicing the pivot points and roller bearing during replacement.
Recommended Lubrication: For optimal smoothness and protection, we recommend Deuthlon lubricants:
-
Deuthlon Cast Lube (Ceramic): Apply a drop to the line roller and bail hinge screws. Its advanced ceramic formula reduces friction and repels dirt.
-
Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease: Use on the internal bail trip linkage and spring to prevent corrosion and ensure a snappy return.
Schematic Verification
To ensure 85213 is the exact part for your specific reel (as similar models may use different wire geometries), please consult the official PDF part diagrams. www.reelschematic.com
Tech Tip: Avoid bending the new wire during installation. It should line up naturally with the mounting holes. If force is required, check that the rotor arms are not warped, as tension on the wire will cause the bail to bind.
