I have a 5500 and I am using this year for plugging. I think I have been spoiled b/c I have a VS275 for jigging and I love the bailess system and since that I don't like going back to bail but I love the emblem. I have lost a few of my cheaper plugs b/c the bail has closed on me and I am somewhat worried that if I go to my more $$$ ones go hurling half way into the canal, ill have a heart attack . Is there a bailess system for the emblem? Are there any emblem owners that cut off the bail and just leave the roller? Is it a good idea to do that or will it ruin the reel?
