I’m wondering why the bail on this daiwa BG is tilted back and not in a straight position? It’s not like that on my other reels Thanks in advance Posted by AlienLP
Deepfried_delecacy on September 8, 2025 2:41 pm It’s so the line gets guided up into the line roller when you close the bail and start reeling.

Not_Jinxed on September 8, 2025 2:44 pm Why do so many people ask this? It’s super obvious that it’s a manufactured bend and intended to be that way.
