I bought the conversion kit for my Penn 750SS. It works great for the bail problem you're having. I had sent my last plug into the ditch one morning and was so pissed, I drove to Red Top to see if they had a big set of cutters. The thing was coming off right then!!! Guys there said they have a kit for $5 made by Penn. It took just a minute or two to put on. A short peice of bail (1") sticks out to keep everything balanced. Out of habit, I would still flip it back the way I used and rest it on the external bail trip before I cast. Somehow, I could still manage to get that tiny bail to close even with a new bail spring inside, but it doesn't matter, the cut offs ended and that was the goal.

PS. I didn't like it for plugging. Even though I flip my bails manually, not having one was counter productive for me. The bail speeds up the process so the 750 is now designated for chunk duty. Use it with a Breakaway Canon and send you macks into orbit. I use and Ahab 8A and Nautil 7500 for pluggin duty, bail included.
