Yeah, my bail spring gave out a few years ago, had to make my own. It works, but not as good, great little work horse for a small reel pulled in a 3.5-pound Largemouth with it and a boat load of crappies and white bass over the years.

The Ryobi powerful dx no.1 was my first reel I ever bought; it was 1979. I was 16 at the time,
