Another Mitchell Question

Post by oldsaltnfla »

The bail on my Mitchell 308 ultra lite does not seem like it is going back far enough when I open the bail to cast. There seems to be some play and it will go back farther when I pull it back but it does not stay back all the way. Is there a way to adjust the bail or is there a part that is worn, or is it something else? Is there anyone here on the forum who can fix it for a fee?

It sounds like the bail wire is bent or the trip lever is bent...If I had the reel to look at I could most likely get it working again,,,,,,,Dick
