Why Choose Genuine DAM Quick Parts?
The 101-186 Bail Wire is shaped with precise angles that aftermarket wires often fail to replicate. An improperly shaped bail wire can create friction against the rotor or fail to trip automatically, ruining the feel of the reel. Trust genuine OEM parts to maintain the balance and functionality of your classic DAM Quick.
