Penn 704 bail conversion kits
 
Looking to convert a 704z and 704 to bail less. Can't seem to find these anywhere as I heard they have been discontinued. Should I keep looking or am I better off selling the reels. I'd like to get a bail less reel. Would I be able to get enough for these two reels (both in pretty good shape, the Z better than the other) to take a good chunk out of the price of a Spheros or something.

Thanks guys,
Beaver

You don't need a kit. Cut the bail off and buff it smooth. You can either cut the other end also or just remove it. That is a balance issue and I have three one homedone, the other two kits, I use the one I did mostly but for no real reason.
Or I'll trade you a Spheros 6000 for them

I've got 4 of them left unused and stored away - they're not making them anymore, what's out there is it.
