What Lefty Reels Do You Like in Baitcaster/Conventional?
Due to an old injury I just am not comfortable with reeling with my right hand. So I am going to sell my Trinidad 16. That being said what reels do you like in left handed? I have a spinning setup I am going to use with a Shimano Terez rod and also a Lexa 300 left handed with a Seeker Inshore rod.
What left handed setups do you like? |

I'm running a few Lefty MXL's with the Calstar GG670C 20-50lb.
The longer butt section allows you to tuck it under your fore arm further relieving pressure. Old moto accident has my wrist's shot as well. For lighter setups I'm running the lefty Toro's. I'd like to pick up one of the Lexa 400's to toss mega baits. |

I started with spinning rods and left retrieve even though I am right handed. I just used to it. I have a left handed revo toro NACL 50 and I like it.

Cast pretty well
Easy to maintain Get the Abu Record reels if you go with their round reels |

Penn makes a left handed lever drag reel in their Squall series that might be worth checking out. Not too pricey and good reviews.
http://www.pennfishingstore.com/penn...drag-reel.html It would be just about perfect for the LJ mackerel slow troll thing. I'm moving to left handed bait casters but don't know if I'm ready for lefty conventionals. Mike |

I've been using a lefty Ambassadeur 6500 for years and love it for fishing the bays. I picked up the lefty Toro Winch a while back and really like it as well.
