Product Description
Fin-Nor YT347-01 Bail Assembly (Offshore OFS45-55)
Restore the line management capabilities of your heavy-duty spinning reel with the Fin-Nor YT347-01 Bail Assembly. This genuine OEM component is the robust heavy-gauge wire frame designed for the Fin-Nor Offshore series. It serves as the primary mechanism for capturing the line after a cast and guiding it onto the line roller for retrieval.
In saltwater environments, bail wires can become bent from impact or corroded at the pivot points, leading to friction that prevents the bail from flipping closed automatically or staying open during a cast. Replacing this assembly ensures your reel cycles correctly and protects your line from snagging on rough, pitted metal surfaces.

Tech Tip: This part is the wire assembly only. If your bail is not snapping back firmly, the issue often lies with the Bail Spring (Key #21) or the Bail Trip Lever, rather than the wire itself. However, if the wire is bent, it can create tension that prevents the spring from doing its job. Always check the wire alignment first.
