Breakage of bail

Should we close it manually ?

	The bail wire of 95Stella The bail wire of my 95Stella2000 had broken by a few day's use .
	98Ultegra The same point of 98Ultegra2000 had broken by one year . But I had adjusted the width of wire . So , the impact of closing had increased . Although it might be cause , I think it is a defect .
	Cause The weight of A and B of the present reels has increased . So , the impact on C has become larger .
	Measure This picture is my measure . I added the stopper on the balance weight . It decreases the impact on bail wire .
	I bonded the stainless pin by epoxy .
	It was a hint . Daiwa's Freams has same stopper on balancer . Cardinal C300 and Mitchell Avocet have also . It means the stopper is necessary .
	Daiwa is same ! The bail angle of 97EmblemZ2000iA altered by a few day's use . And the tripping lever had broken by 2day .
	It is not the deformation of wire . Its cause is weakness of bail pivots .

I am the " Mitchell angler " . So , I usually close the bails by handle of the reel .

Some Japanese anglers say that bail should be closed by hand . I don't think so .

How do you return the clutch of bait reel and spin casting reel ?

The cause of these breakage are on the reels . It is not angler's responsibility . (2004/7/26)
