OK, looking to build one or two spinning rods this winter and considering reels. I own a 6500SS which is in excellent shape but I'm wondering if I should use that and somehow modify it, get a 704/6, go bailless? Anyway, I will be fishing braid and will use this setup primarily for throwing lighter lugs (bombers and the like) and occasionally throwing bigger stuff in nasty winds. Not looking to replace my conventionals at all but just looking to be more diverse...

Any suggestions? Do the make a large diameter manual pickup roller for the 6500SS?

Thanks
