stone Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 HI I notice that many of you like bailess spinning reel. whats the advantage apart that it wont close on you when casting. when waiting for a bite, will the line come loose and cause it miss bite because the line comes off from the line roller? Will it in the mist of casting engage onto the roller? If after trying, i decide to fix it, whats the cost of the bail I have 6500 7500 and 8500ss. is there a series that response best to such a modification? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet is to post WTB bail-less kit,69-750 on the BST. The straw that broke AMERICA'S back "Free Trade/National Health Plan" Remember...Terrorist are attacking Civilians; Not the Government.

Triplock,screw to hold it on and line roller holder, you need to use your old roller and nut.

Looked like quite the goofball with a bandaid on each thumb That had to be a site and a bumber at the same time. The change over is real simple, just take the nut off your bail arm side that holds your bail wire and roller off (not the bail arm screw) put your roller on your new roller shaft then back on the arm and replace the nut.(oil it first) Then take off the other side of the bail wire, hold the trip down with your new triplock and put in your new screw, That's IT. (put your bail and spring away for another time) The straw that broke AMERICA'S back "Free Trade/National Health Plan" Remember...Terrorist are attacking Civilians; Not the Government.
