hey eelman...
 

are you the guy who i met once at quaker lane who was extolling the virtues of the stella to my wife and i? and you were telling us how your friend uses van staals exclusively, but you like bailed reels. you also showed us your very impressive scrap book.

if that was you, i am just curious, will you be getting one of these bailed vs's?

cuz i believe you said to us, "if van staal ever makes a bailed reel, i'm all over it".

ok, i'm paraphrasing, but it was something like that.

Bill extolling the virtues of a spinning reel :confused:

Nah, couldn't be :D :rotf2:

I can pretty much tell ya fer sure that weren't da #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& :D :humpty:

hmm....ok, i wonder who it was.

and i wonder if he's on here.

He,s on another f #$%^&*( planet :liquify:

Now I ask? Do I come across as the type of guy who would exchange pleasentries and have a lovefest with strangers at a bait shop? and talk about using training wheel spin outfits?? Please say it isnt so! My training wheels came off many years ago......:bshake: :bshake:

And yes, the clammer rules !

Hey, snake slinger, you cant expose the real me!! whats up with that?:bc:

My eggs are all cooked and solid right thru!:rotf2:

Take this for what its worth and remember its ONES MAN OPINION!

Speaking with Steve about the van stall bailed reel. He casted one etc.. and he told me he prefers to stick with the bailess models. Steve has been fishing these reels exclusive since they came out. Thats his take anyway......

Is there any advantage with a bailed VS beyond an automatic pickup??

Any disadvantage beyond breaking the bail??

According to him the only advantage is the automatic pickup john, but most of these guys are so use to fishing the bailess reels, its what they prefer plu its one less part that can break or bend if droped etc..... I dont know and I am the wrong guy to ask, I really no nothing about spin reels in todays world exept that they are requiring a secnd loan on the house to buy one!

Clammer
Just so you know. I hadn't seen Henry in 15 years. Old fishing buddy from yesteryear. I am sorry I left you with Billy....

I don,t give a s hit if you hadn,t seen him in 50 f @#$%^&*%^& years // you,ll pay dearly for the move ,,:kewl:

Yeah, well I'm fishin' tonight. Bet you don't have the b^%^%$$ to fish tonight...:realmad:

S Hit I fished 3 times this week //don,t need to fish tonight //

Sunday will be good if the weather ain,t sucky :bshake:

The big disadvantage and the reason most of us converted are 704 to manual pickup was because the bail would snap shut on casting and off would fly a good plug.

Stairway to Heaven
 

Clammer, I guess this was one of those outings where you helped earn your wings for the afterlife. Are those lances for jousting with one another in the back of the boat or do you wait to do that at S-B.com :rocketem:
