Question About Bails

[maddmatt]

i flip manually and put the braid on the roller by hand and give it a pull to make sure all is good.

i like bails, they make it easier (for me anyway) to get the line on the roller when a fish is runnin with my eel in the dark, on a pitching boat with numb hands after 12 hrs of straight fishing.

Same here when I'm using braid. I've run into massive headaches with braid when I don't flip manually then pull tight.

I flip the bail manually...been removing the trips ever since I bought a reel from Niko that had that done. also helps stop the bail from flipping shut when I don't want it to. saves a few plugs from being cast off.
