I got the manual pick-up conversion kit for Penn 704 from Beachway B&T. While I was putting it on it dawned on me that all you need is take out the automatic bail closure part inside of the spindle.
I have lost many lures in the past because this problem.
No more!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of manually picking the line after you cast, all you need to do is just close the bail maually. I think this is even better than manual pick up because even you may have some slack on your line, the line will allways stay insde of the bail.
