I've heard that brainless spinning reels do not introduce line twist, anyone
confirm that?

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.

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…

“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.
