Why is it not so many Spinning Reels with bail "triggers" available anymore?

I have converted a couple of mine and played with them in the yard.
Thanks for the info though.

Check my recent post in this forum thread ! Look up Shimano spinning reel models; if there are reels with the trigger feature
other than the ones I mentioned, they're probably also in the Shimano line ! You can also
look for older, possibly vintage
models on the 'net' ! They're out there; it might just take a little time and effort to find one !

You haft to have a letter of proof from the government stating your % of disability to take advantage of the discounted vet license, but worth it.

Senility ! BAH ! HUMBUG ! Don't remember how/why I got into
the veteran's license discourse,
damn 'train of thought' done slipped the tracks (AGAIN) ! No license discount here, so it's
pretty much a moot point in
this corner !

Had several trigger reels in the past, took the triggers off. I open and close the bell by hand. Reduces noise, lets the spring last longer. Never had one break this way. You canmake your own springs using piano wire, the same diameter as the broken if it happens to break, not hard. DEEJAY

Stuco, the O N L Y good thing about living in I L L in OIZ is that I get a free fishing license because I am 60% disabled. Besides that, the other advantages S U C K!
Good on the free fishing license, shame on that being the only thing. Thank you for your service. You and all on here, and those not on here, are heroes who deserve to be taken better care of.

We won't argue with you on that. Most stuff here in Maryland takes 100% to do anything for you. Registration ect.

The trigger finger bail is all I have used for 40 years, absolutely love them. I have not had one ever fail me.
Last year I bought a new reel without and I don’t like it at all.
Thanks

Thanks for your input. My experience has been exactly the same. No problems with any of mine with bail triggers. The ones that I have with no bail triggers are an absolute pain in the azz.
I just enrolled in this Forum a few days ago. I do know how most Forums work as I belong to others and have been for years. This posting was my very first one here and your answer and many others did indeed address the "topic"..................Whereas many other replies went off the map and (posted topic) and groused about fishing license costs which should have warranted a different posting altogether.

Sorry if you had any difficulty
following the topic/threadline;
this forum often does that, with one conversation after another frequently going off on their own tangents from the original topic !
That's our crew, though, and I
hope you can acclimate quickly
to our sometimes peculiar little quirks ! We have a good group here, and we have fun with this forum; we occasionally tease or 'rag' on each other, but we usually get along well and you can and will find some very helpful
fishing tips and advice on this forum ! Be aware that there are different sections to it; the main section is mostly about fishing, but this section can and will frequently cover many subjects, often on the same thread ! That's just the way this forum is, so I sincerely hope that you can
adapt to our ways and learn to enjoy our humor !
