bale - Wiktionary 
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bale 

 
Precise
 derivation uncertain: perhaps from Old French bale, balle, from Medieval Latin 
balla (“ball, rounded package”), from Germanic; or perhaps from Dutch …


A bale arm is a rounded object and so this definition makes sense to me

[VFB] bale not bail

[Neville Gosling]

Resending as didn’t show - possible duplicate

Oh DonO!

Americans have never been able to spell English and in fact there are so many 
American mis-spelled English words that the mis-spelled words are often now the 
norm.

Bale refers to a group or bundle of object(s) such as a bale of hay;
Bale arm is an English invention and part of a certain type of 
spinning/threadline/fixed spool reel.
Bail is what you are going to need to get out of jail.

Now, I’m glad that we have got that sorted out but don’t look at me so 
balefully!

I will let you look that one up………..Nev

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’.

[VFB] Bale Arms

[Neville Gosling]

Hardy Bros Ltd invented the full bale arm (not bail) and it was patented so no 
other manufacturer could copy the idea of a bale until the patent expired. 
Mitchell was a French company that was waiting for the patent to expire and 
were forced to utilize the half bale in the meantime. This also applied to 
other manufacturers of reels like J.W. Young.  Mitchell also produced an 
Otomatic model of the 300 model that when one pressed lightly on the bale with 
a finger and released at the precise moment during the cast, the bale would fly 
open. This was in the late 1950’s.

I took up bass fishing, mainly because I had never caught one and used a 
spinning/threadline/fixed spool reel to do so. I have a couple of reels with 
the trigger that places the line behind the finger tip prior to casting. I find 
them quite efficient as I don’t have to open a bale and with my left hand. I 
can simply cast with one hand and use the left to reel in as required.  The 
only problem I have found with the trigger type is that the reel stem is too 
long and the reel is just a bit too far away to be able to comfortable apply a 
finger to the spool when one wants to apply finger pressure to it. I also 
prefer reels that have the drag at the back and not the front. I use a Shimano 
Spirex 4000 and an old Daiwa AutoCast.
