I had to replace the bail spring mechanism on a VR for someone recently...the little sleeve at the bottom of the spring lever had snapped off...during disassemble/reassemble I noticed sand had found it's way up into the housing..it's open at the bottom and the spring is greased so any sand that gets in there can collect...I think that's what caused the spring to bind and the part to snap...anyway......the bail is fine if you are in a boat but any surf fishing/plugging is definitely made easier and trouble free by removing the bail....watch the video a few times...I've also had to fix a couple of bailess conversions gone wrong
