Product Description
DAM Quick 100-545 Hexagon Nut (Bail Nut)
Secure Your Big Game Reel's Bail Assembly
Maintain the structural integrity of your heavy-duty spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-545 Hexagon Nut. This specialized fastener is a critical component of the bail assembly on the DAM Quick 550. It is responsible for securing the bail wire or line roller assembly to the bail arm, ensuring that the entire mechanism stays connected under the extreme stress of surf casting and fighting large fish.
On vintage saltwater reels like the Quick 550, small fasteners are often the first to be lost during field maintenance or loosened by the constant vibration of the rotor. A missing 100-545 nut renders the bail system useless, as the bail wire will detach or the line roller will fall apart. Replace your missing or stripped hardware with this genuine-specification part to ensure your reel remains battle-ready.

Technical Specifications & Schematics
The 100-545 Nut is typically found securing the bail wire to the bail arm or acting as the retaining nut for the line guide screw. To identify the exact location and usage of this nut within the rotor assembly, please consult the detailed PDF schematics for the Quick 550 at www.reelschematic.com.

Installation Tip: When tightening this nut, ensure the bail wire or line roller underneath is properly seated. Overtightening can bind the bail movement, while undertightening can cause the nut to fly off during a cast. A small drop of blue thread locker is often recommended for these high-vibration areas.
