Product Description
DAM Quick 110-477 Bail Spring - SLS 0 / 1
Restore the crisp, reliable action of your DAM Quick reel with this genuine Bail Spring replacement.
The bail spring is the mechanical muscle behind your spinning reel's casting system. It provides the necessary tension to hold the bail open during a cast and, more importantly, powers the automatic snap-closure when you begin to retrieve. On the ultralight DAM Quick SLS 0 and SLS 1, this spring is subjected to high cycle counts and constant tension. If your bail feels weak, sluggish, or fails to return to the closed position completely, a fatigued or broken spring is the definitive cause. This authentic replacement part restores the snappy, factory-fresh performance of your vintage reel.

Installation Notes
Spring installation requires patience and a steady hand.
-
Remove the bail arm screw and carefully lift the arm (or cover plate) to expose the spring cavity.
-
Note the orientation of the old spring before removal; specifically, where the long and short legs (tangs) are anchored.
-
Clean the cavity of old grease, salt, and debris.
-
Insert the new 110-477 spring, anchoring the body tang first.
-
Pre-load the spring tension as you reinstall the bail arm.
-
Apply a dab of fresh reel grease to the spring coil to prevent corrosion and ensure quiet operation.
