Penn Manual bail kit

[Dr. Jekyll - AKA MeL B]

if you look carefully inside the pick up you'll see something, i'll call it a "finger", that prevents the line from slipping out. the pick up on my 706Z seems to be bigger and more robust, reasons why i bought it, in comparison with penn's manual pick up for the SS.

btw i've used my Z with chunks and it has kept the line in the pick up while waiting for a bite...

I've heard the bail less reels are not good for off shore jigging. The line tends to come off the roller while jigging. Bob

definitely not for jigging, especially the japanese style...

Well, I guess I'm going to try the Manual bail setup. I have the other piece.

Daron,

What do those spool sleeves just behind the spinner to the right/in front of the cajun red (brass/sst) fit?

12 and 14/0. The 12/0 is stainless! I already have the stainless one in the 14/0.
