I Hate Bails

What I hate most about a bail is how high the judge always sets mine....:mad:

 

There's a couple of states in this country where my bail was intentionally set extremely low - since the judges threw me completely OUT of the states and didn't want anything hindering my departure...:D

Anger is no more a requirement of killing,
than fear is a requirement of dying.

 

Today I will do what others won't so tomorrow I can do what others can't.

I've had the same problems with Cabo's ,Boca's, Okuma V Systems sent them back for repairs come back and soon start all over again. So now I just take the bail trip rod out and solves the problem, it just means you have to close the bail manually which I do 99% of the time anyway. It turns out it's the weight of the handle and centrifical force on the cast that pushes the bail trip rod to close the bail. When you talk to the reps at the shows they all say the same thing, you have to position the handle knob facing foward on each cast to avoid this problem. I tell them I wasn't aware that I bought a reel with a precast check list, this is the price we pay for a nice big knob to grab on too.

I personally cut the bails off of all my reels for that reason.   I hate casting lures off cause I'm upset b/c thats my furthest cast of the day.   Honestly if you have the cash get the VS or ZB.   Can't tell you enough how much having these reels expanded my fishing.   Yes for a BWay they can be a pain if you hook up on the "let out" but besides that never an issue.   For the money the I would look into Stradic 8000 or even a Penn 704z.   Buy cheap buy twice.   If you fish hard and go through reels invest in the best...
