Product Description
Fin-Nor CAF347-01 Bail Assembly (Mega Lite MLS60-80)
Restore the line management and casting efficiency of your saltwater spinning reel with the Fin-Nor CAF347-01 Bail Assembly. This genuine OEM component is the heavy-duty bail wire frame designed for the Fin-Nor Mega Lite (MLS) series. As the primary component responsible for capturing the line and guiding it to the roller, a straight and properly aligned bail wire is essential for preventing wind knots and ensuring smooth spooling.
The Mega Lite series is built for durability, but the bail wire can become bent from being stepped on, dropped, or crushed during transport. A bent bail wire creates friction that fights against the bail spring, preventing the bail from flipping over completely. Replacing this assembly ensures your reel functions crisply and reliably on your next trip.

Tech Tip: This part is the wire assembly only. If your bail feels "lazy" or doesn't snap back with authority, the issue is likely the Bail Spring (Key #28 / CAF274-01) rather than the wire itself. However, if the wire is bent, it must be replaced first, as no amount of spring tension can overcome a misaligned bail wire.
