I have a 6500SS with a bail and I use it with the bail and do not really have any problems, in fact, I don't think the thing has ever flipped on me. Once thing I do is line up the line roller with the rod before I flip the bail and get ready to cast, but doesn't everybody do that?
I've got 6 6500SS' and thankfully have not had much issue with premature bail flipation, and I have been casting with these reels for yeeeaaarrrrssss. I have been one to line up the line roller so it is closest to my finger and that has helped, but I can only remember a handful of times I've had a cast stopped short because of the bail flipping from gravity/G-Force. These reels have to be the 5.7 Litre Chevy/GM 350 motor for reliablity and ease of maintenance. Just solid and tough.

This is what you have to do, so it dosen't close to fast and you lose your plugs, I went the bailess way and didn't like it to much
