penn 6500 SS bail

[Swimmer]

Only ever had problems with the 9500 premature bail closures. Kind of stopped using it.

thanks Bob - yeah it works. Just to clarify further, if you do it this way, the bail is flipped away from the handle, so if your handle is on the left, your bail should be flipped to the right, not down away from the rod, but to the right of the rod.
