Did you put training wheels back on your bike after you learned how to ride?
No bail.

I found one time where I really like a bail. Wetsuiting. If you get blown off a rock the line often gets knocked off the roller and if it's night time it can be tough to see that it happened, so I have to check everytime I get sloshed around. A bail would solve/prevent that problem. But obviously that situtation is fairly rare and usually I move after a few hits like that.
Otherwise, bailess, all the way. If you like your bail though (many do), the bailed VS is passing the test in the surf. The first couple of test reels have been in intentionally malicious service for almost a year now. The bailess reel should actually be more durable then the bailess due a redesign that eliminates most of the flex in the drivetrain.

So......
Let me make sure I 've heard you all
F the bail. Good. I was actually wondering why even design one with the bail, unless they were experience an issue with the originals. And I have not heard/read such problems existing.

I was kind of worried about getting used to bailess reels, seeing that I've used a bail forever. But after a few times out with my VS, it's like second nature, I don't even have to look at the reel anymore to put the line on the roller. I dread having to use a bail reel again.
The only thing I haven't tried is drifting an eel out on an outflow, not sure how it will be getting line on roller if a fish hits while free spooling.
Has anyone done this?
