You can get the manual conversion for like $19 from Scotts B&T in NJ, you can google his site and check it out. I have made the conversion my self but I don't like the fact that the line roller on the conversion is like three times the size of the original and spools the line in a cone shape. I was just going to call and order another bail arm and line roller to canilbalize to see if this would give me better results. After cutting the bail arm I'll have my neighbor tig weld it in the proper position and use the screw/nut from the other end as the counter weight.

It's a great reel and should handle all you can throw at it. You'll be very pleased with it.

You should also be able to get spare drag washers and an extra spool for short $.
