Can you please try explaining it to me?? I have chopped the bail off my 710 and am trying to find out how to have the rotor up when the handle is down just like in MACs pic. Maybe this only works with the 706 and not the 710 but I would like to find out for sure.
Thanks. |

I either added a washer to the one under the handle where it screws onto the reel or I removed the washer that was already there and I replaced it with a thinner one. Either way, when I turn the handle I can have the handle pointing down, the spool completed exposed, and the the line roller in the correct position. |

Thank you. I can't wrap my small brain around why this will affect the position of the spool as it relates to the position of the handle but I will certainly give it a try.

It works because when the handle is fully tightened it is in a different position versus the reel body than when it came from the factory. You can see what I am talking about by simply removing the washer and then putting the handle back on. |

Mac, what is used for the counterweight inside the spool? Something home made?

As far as the handle shim goes I'm going to assume this will also work with a bailess 704(?).
