The utility of bailless has little to do with rock hoping or wetsuiting.

It simplifies plug fishing. I see it a a more fluid set of actions when i fish.

A bailess reel also reduces the care necessary in a sandy environment. In general folks like it because its one less mechanical point of failure.

I see a bail to be more designed for an unattended rod. It is a mechanism to put and keep the line on the roller.

If you like bailed reels..skip the bailess conversion. If the bail mechanism ever fails you....try converting then. If it never does then eve4ything is good.

I think my motivation for going bailess was my 704z bail was just a nightmare in terms of maintenance.....but there is a big difference between that mechanism and a modern bailed reel.
