Think about it this way, if your bail actually worked everytime without closing on the cast would you still want to go without?
Wouldn't you rather have a skirted spool so your freaking braided line doesn't get caught under when you're on a high perch in the dark?
Wouldn't you want a longer cast spool that doesn't have to be at least 90% full and fully extended to cast at it's best?
Don't you have even more excess money stuffed under your matress just waiting for a new toy you don't really need
At least I'm sure that's what VS is thinking...Be interested to see how much a larger reel would weigh.
