Been researching and finding bail in most places so far, not bale. Googled up def. of bale- and only came up with hay- or a group of turtles. And I thought it was a ‘herd of turtles’. DonO -Original Message- From: Neville Gosling Sent: Sunday, January 17, 2016 3:08 PM To: VFB

Re: [VFB] QFTD- new bail-out strategy for spin-fishing

Alan, All of the spinning reels in my Cabalas mag have bails. None have bail-flips or ‘triggers’ (one-handed operation). None are bail-less models. There was a lot of confusion in the blogs because the posters weren’t specific about their comments on the 3 styles of reels. There was no

I don't get a Cabelas magazine, so I haven't seen the article you're talking about, but if you go to Cabelas on-line site and look for spinning reels, there are a bunch of them with bails. Admittedly the bails are hard to see because they are laying on the backside of the picture. In fact,
