Product Description
Fin-Nor YT007-01 Bail Arm (Offshore OFS45-55)
Restore the smooth line management and reliable bail functioning of your saltwater spinning reel with the Fin-Nor YT007-01 Bail Arm. This genuine OEM component is the rigid lever arm that connects your bail wire to the rotor assembly on the line roller side. It plays a critical role in supporting the line roller and ensuring the bail flips cleanly and stays locked during your cast.
On the heavy-duty Offshore (OFS) series, the bail arm is subject to constant salt spray and mechanical stress. If this part becomes corroded at the hinge point or bent from impact, it can cause the bail to stick, leading to wind knots or premature bail closure. Replacing the bail arm restores the correct geometry for your line roller, ensuring your line is protected during high-drag battles.

Tech Tip: The Bail Arm (Key #19) connects directly to the Bail Wire Assembly (Key #14). When replacing this arm, we highly recommend inspecting the Line Roller (Key #16) and its internal bushing/bearing. If the arm was bent, it often pinches the roller, causing it to seize. Ensure the roller spins freely after installation to prevent line breakage.
