is it just a matter of cutting off the bail and filing the burr down super smooth?

or is there a kit, say with a new bearing/ line giude, i can install?

i'm sich of losing expencive lures, do to the bail slamming shut.

slap, crack, zinggggggg----------see ya!
anyone see a 5oz. crippled herring come by this way? doing about mach3 :D

I assume there is a kit for the 9500ss I got one for my 7500ss. Or you could do what you mention.

this link may help you out.
Part# 69-9500 9500 Manual Bail (http://www.scottsbt.com/acb_sbt/showprod.cfm?&DID=8&CATID=52&ObjectGroup_ID=94)
I just purchased 2 for my 8500's.

call buckos or red top sports... they have a kit.. i did the same conversion to my 650ss and my 750ss.. works out well..

the kit has the right counter balance which keeps everything in check..

they are at the shop right now for some other work when i get it back i'll meet you down at the damn on the mystic river you can try it out..

later
crash

thanks guys.
never fished a bailless before but i've only heard good things.
i'm going to give it a shot.
