Bail or Manual Pick up

100% baillessssssssssss 8)

When dead sticking with bait I always use bailed baitrunners. When plugging it's always bailless.

My greenies are all bailless the other reels are no problem so I left the bails on!

me too i have gotten so used to My VS and Z reels i cant fish with a bail any more

SO FAR ALL I USE IS BAIL REELS. LOOKING AT A VS 150 WITH THE BAIL. I HAVE A QUESTION ? WITH OUT THE BAIL ON THE REEL,WHEN POPPING DOES THE LINE COME OUT FROM UNDER THE PICK UP ? I HAVENT GONE BAILLESS, SO I DONT KNOW HOW IT IS OR ISNT.

Well 11 VS's with manual and 6 706's are manual. Each one is set on a rod for what I am going to do next. I have 1 bail reel a penn650 that I use for snagin bunker.

I have VS's from 1989 and only when I snag bunker it happens sometimes.

I saw a video I think it was on U Tube. The guy demonstrated how to fish a pencil popper on a bailless reel.he held the line tight against the rod with right hand. To control slack line. And reeled with the left hand. Wish I could rember where the video was.

:twisted: manual pick-up with out a doubt
Less to to wrong

Yeah I have never had a problem with Manual Pick up . It has never slipped and putting the lin eon the roller fast soon becomes second nature .

I pencil pop by holding the line close to the rod and never had a problem .

I dunk my reels way to much to use Penns any more ..I still have em and will chunk with a 706 this year

The 150 imho is too small especially guys with Fat hands . I wont go any smaller than a 200

Manual. I lost a few to many pugs on bail premature activation.

Regular bail for me. Been fishin that way since I was a kid with NO problems.

i have a recurring problem with premature activation seriously my penn 550 is forever closing on the cast. have lost some good equipment that way. will never buy another penn reel. got 5 shimano baitrunners and they have never missed a beat. hopefully i can save up for a VS someday.

No bail....VS 150/250 :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
