Quote from: mo65 on April 18, 2020, 03:02:58 PM One of the things I love most about the manual pickup is you can say goodbye to line twist. I’m guessing the action of the bail closing must twist line, because none of my bailess reels have line twist issues.

Line twist, I think comes from bait helicoptering or reeling against the drag. Can you give me a little more insight, because i do suffer with line twist.

Although I prefer an AR system on the pinion, ahead of the gear mesh, this setup has a bunch of teeth. There is near zero backplay, it sounds like a buzzsaw when you crank the handle! Here’s a pic of the AR side of that gear.

Most times you will lose a lure when the bail malfunction and closed on its own. By the way, I always close my bail by hand, just something I got used to… and that’s a good thing.Thanks Mo!
Quote from: Alto Mare on April 18, 2020, 06:35:33 PMYou are correct Mo, I’m not taking anything away from your thread and sorry if it seemed as I was.You always do good work, along with a good explanation and some great pics.Sal
Quote from: Midway Tommy on April 18, 2020, 06:58:34 PMI’m not a PUM kind of guy but if I was I would prefer a conical style pickup like this one I added to a broken bail Silent awhile back. Sal sent me the Penn bail that I adapted. Thanks again. Sal!
