    Back in the early 1970s I had a bail break. I removed most of it and loved fishing without it. No more half-closed bails. Even though my current spinning reels HAVE bails, I close them by hand and make sure the line is in the correct place. I do it by feel...day or night. Great video as always John!

    All your vids are great John. Thx for putting all the time in to inform/teach. Great job on hooking up all the time. As far as bailess Penn’s, I’m a lefty with right hand retrieve. I’ve bought the 6500 SSV bailess does not work for RightHand retrievers as well, like a dedicated lefty reel like a VS 150 or 250. I couldn’t get use to the opposite flick of your index finger trying to hook the line at the initial retrieve. So, I converted the reel to bailed version. Unfortunately, Penn does not mention this issue for lefties/right hand retrievers.

    • @JohnSkinnerFishing

  • @SamuelPulis
    @SamuelPulis 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When I used a bail-less reel (tsunami shield) I really enjoyed fishing with it because of the simplicity of catching the line with your finger but I had 2 major problems.
    First was the handle rotating on its own due to the momentum of the back cast and since there is nothing stopping it when you don't open a bail, sometimes the line roller arm would rotate around far enough to catch the line and pop goes my line and goodbye lure.
    The other problem was the first loop of line going on the spool crooked sometimes over the top of the spool in and around the drag system which would result in a wind knot on the next cast. This was caused by my technique and it took a bunch of trial and error before i realized what was going on and was able to change what i was doing a bit and cause the problem to happen much less often but that also added an extra level of tedium to using it so i basically just never use that reel anymore.
    It seemed super convenient like in this video but in practice it was just as tedious as a normal spinning reel if not more.

    • @JohnSkinnerFishing
      @JohnSkinnerFishing 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Really excellent descriptions of the problems. I can solve the first one - pack it with grease. As for the second, I'm surprised because the drag cap is pretty flat.

    You need to do a video on how to scout out spots and to come to the conclusion that it is worth fishing that day because you are the best at it. I'm sure you get skunked once in a while but not often. Is this addressed in any of your books?

    • @JohnSkinnerFishing
      @JohnSkinnerFishing 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It's sprinkled through all of the books. I knew to take that day off from work because of the strong onshore winds the previous day followed by a decreasing wind this day along with where it was on the calendar and what bait was around. Knowing that comes from putting a lot of focused time in on an area.

      Correct. I often put in the retrieve, but didn't. As I said in the narration, the objective was to swim the jig above the structure on a moderate retrieve. Here's a series of videos that shows bucktail approaches under different conditions. striperpursuit.com/chapter-5/

    @franktheo2055 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I purchased the 4500 VI bailess model this past December and I read about how many people complained that the Penn V 6500 bailess reel was anatomically out of proportion with the hand and index finger to the line roller compared to the VS or Zeebaas bailess models, I own a 200 & 150 VS bailess model and have fished them for 22 years and at first I used my index finger for catching the line during a cast until one day I used my middle finger and found it to be faster and easer to catch the line and put it on the roller during casting. I used my 4500 bailess VI for the first time two days ago and fished with it two days in a row without one miscue catching small bass on bucktails and plugs and tins and I almost never had to look at the reel after hundreds of casts to put the line on the roller, but I always use my middle finger to catch the line I think it's because the middle finger is the longest one on your hand and for me I can reach the line effortlessly and pop the line on the roller with every cast. {Happy Fishing !!!}

    Hey John, Is this a simple handle conversion for all model Spinfisher VI's? I'd like to get one for my 6500 bailess.
    Thanks.

    • @JohnSkinnerFishing
      @JohnSkinnerFishing 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, but I'd advise against it. The extra weight of the slammer 3 knob causes the rotor to go around on its own.

    • @rtorres3442
      @rtorres3442 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh ok. I'm guessing packing it with grease may not help then. Wonder if that handle can fit a 706Z? That would be an awesome look I think.
      Thanks.

      On my VI 6500 packing it with grease barely solves the problem with the stock handle.

      Too small. I would use the 6500, and many would use the 5500. They also make a 6500 Bailess.

    Is there a bailess option for the slammer 3?

    • @JohnSkinnerFishing
      @JohnSkinnerFishing 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not that I'm aware of. The new Spinfisher VI reels have machined gears now and perform a lot like the Slammers for less money. I'd go with one of those if you want bailess.
