A friend of mine and one of the nicest, most knowledgeable fishermen I
know literally wrote the book in ultralight spinfishing, 'Piscatorial
Absurdities'. Joe Robinson. See
http://piscatorialabsurdities.com/1.html . Google it. There's a
Youtube video out there of him casting.

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.
