How to convert a spinning reel to bailess
Admittedly long walkthrough on how I converted a Penn Battle 4000 to bailess. In the video I cover why I wanted to go bailess, how to convert a regular spinning reel to bailess, and spent some extra time trying to tackle balance issues that happen as a result of the process.
I also cover how to remove the bail trip lever. This explains a "manual bail" modification that is very easy to do, which might be helpful to people who don't want to commit to a bailess setup, or think the conversion is too involved.

31:00 that thing under the bolt is called a rotor locking plate
Ok then
You did a wonderful job. I have a bail-less VS reel that is perfect in the surf. I don't want to buy another one or switch it to another rod. I have the perfect low cost spinning reel I would like to try this conversion on. Thank you for this great information, tight lines!
real questions, what is stopping us from buying the *parts for the bailess for say $3.50? anyone figure this out, im guessing a penn slammer bailess parts with a cheap wrath or something?
Aah...what was the glove for???.......
I have to say, Old Sport, I found this video totally engrossing. It was all stuff I wanted to know and more, as any reel I take apart never goes back together the same and I always end up with screws, washers, and a few mysterious bits that don't seem to fit anywhere, so watching you do all that was a great help.
Dude. Thank you!!!!!!
Verr cool I will try this myself thanks👍👍
19:24 ARE YOU INSANE? DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR FINGERS WHEN THE DREMEL CUTS THE ARTERY. YOU ARE BEYOND LUCK AND TOTALLY CRAZY. WTF!
The tip for no automatic close of the bail was awesome. Do you think it can be done in any reel? I have a daiwa ninja lt 2500 and i want to try it.
Yes
Way too much trouble
Even with Bait I'll still fish a bailless reel , all my spinning reels bailless, because like the video said , with a far cast with a bloody fish head on I don't trust the bail cus it close on me.
Out of the all the UA-cam instructions, this is the best found for converting any reel. Thank you
wow, thank you! sorry the video is so painfully long. i had delusions of grandeur regarding my editing ability, and wasnt able to cut it down like i had originally intended. i talk way too much, haha. but, in theory this should work for most reels. thanks!
Don't make no sense to go bail less if u have to go true all this trouble
Genuinely, seems like your not very bright, no diss just a really funny comment.
You take WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too OOOOOOOOOOOOO much
Great video man, you are a very nerdy fisherman:-)
Did u realize when u screwed the bail bearing back on it was in the free spool position. U should have twisted down then titghten screw
tailzz germzz not sure what you mean. what timestamp are you referring to?
Man that’s a lot of effort ! Did you search eBay for bailless kits for penn battle ?? Still you have a one of a kind reel .. in 40 yrs it will be collectable with a story ...
i didn't know about a bailess kit for the battle. my video skills are terrible, i didn't have an editor so the video is wayyyy too long. honestly the whole thing can be done pretty quick, and it for a few bucks you can swap it back. in retrospect... a 4000 is probably a tad too small for bailess, because i generally use that reel for smaller lures (1oz and below). seems like a 1oz lure is the minimum size you'd want to be fishing a bailess... at least that was my take.
Are you in Jersey?
I fish Jersey, but I live in PA
Great vid. Very interesting.
Thanks... I apologize for the length, it ended up more than twice as long as I intended... I talk too much (in general) and editing it down proved harder than I thought it would be
@@WormBreath76 haha its okay. you left no stone unturned!
That would be Merlin. It normally throws over 1500 feet.
