on,Bail less spinning reels are not new. My first spinning reel was given to me
by my fishing friend when I was his best man at his wedding in 1951. It is
called a Fix Reel came from France. It has a tiny roller for the line to sit
on. You lift the line with your index finger, make the cast and then use your
index finger to pick up the line at the reel and flip it back on the roller. I
used it for years and then got a spinning reel with a bale. I was so used to
the Fix Reel that I kept getting my finger caught in the bale when I tried to
pick up the line. I still prefer the Fix Reel over a bale reel. I still have
that reel and if I can find it without too much looking I will post a photo.
Google up Fix Reel spinning. It might be there. They were one of the first
spinning reels to be sold in the USA.Tony

{}#yiv8787350844 I’m intrigued. Don’t do much fishing w/out my fly rigs any
more, but I do take a trip or two where fly fishing isn’t feasible. Might have
to get me one… J From: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com

Subject: Re: [VFB] QFTD- easy schmeezy... “what is easy?” Well, maybe hand the
mess of fish over to the wife after, grab a cold one, watch foot-ball, and wait
for fried fish and hushpuppies.Sounds easy enough for me. Unless you have her
bring the beer and operate the remote... ;o) I know this is off-topic
flyfishing, but, it is fishing. Just got my new Cabelas mag, and there’s not a
single spinning reel with a bail-flip trigger. I’ve used these bail-flips for
as long as they’ve been out, but only for lure chunking & retrieving with
one-hand operation. Went on line to some blogs about bails without triggers,
and it seems the opinions are divided between trigger users, bail flippers, and
the ‘new’ no-bail at all users. I grew up with the manual bail flip (Mitchell
300s), but never had a bail-less model, so went to You-tube for a demo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQkHW00VJTQ Looks like it works, but I didn’t
see any bail-less models in the mag, either. I figure if I can find out enough
about the bail-less, maybe get one and see if I like it. Then, if two guys are
fighting over which is best, I can settle the matter and win a No-bail Peace
Price. DonO From: 'Rick Zieger' via VFB Mail Sent: Saturday, January 16, 2016
