Absolutely!
Folks would be surprised how many reel parts are compatible, and interchangeable.

DO NOT REMOVE THE BAIL ON THE LINE ROLLER SIDE OF A SPINNING REEL .

Somewhere I read to not take the bail screw out on the line roller side . Now I know why !
I was going to try and swap bail unit complete on the old Sienna and the newer Nasci 500 . They look like they would interchange, and probably would .
Since I was using the Nasci for parts , I removed its bail first , I’m glad I did .
There’s too many parts and springs that come apart when cracking it open . I have no idea what goes where .
I was able to remove the roller on both reels and use the ball bearing I had put in the Nasci when upgrading and fit it into the roller of the Sienna .
The rest of the bail and Nasci went into a parts bag .
I know I had put a ball bearing in the paddle on the Nasci handle . And wish I can use it in the Sienna , but the Sienna paddle has a brad and plastic roller instead of a screw and ball bearing .
