Here is what it produced the first day! This rod will be a keeper!
Caught it within the first hour of fishing so left early to get it in the frig. Got it on a z man jerk fluke houdini color with a 1 oz. gamakatsu football jighead. |

Nice setup.....swapping my reels to lefties in the near future. I'm right handed, but it feels so goofy reeling in with my right hand.

Congratulations Jeff, you did it. Can't wait to see how you do in Asuncion with that outfit. Big Calicos, Sheepies, Barries, and of course some Yellows. That is stepping up!!!

I totally agree. Actually a lot of professional bass fishermen now are using the left handed retrieves. In the future I may get an Avet left handed reel. |

I have always been comfortable reeling with my right or left hand but all of My conventional reels are right handed and my spinning gear is left handed. Whether you reel right or left handed, it is your opposite arm that does all the work. A couple weeks ago I hooked up with a bigger fish with my spinner. I don't remember what it was. Probably a T or WSB but half way through the fight my right arm was cramping because it wasn't used to that pulling and pumping activity. (jeez that sentence sounds dirty) Anyway, my spinner is now switched over to a right hand retrieve.

Make that a T or a BSB not a WSB. A WSB I would remember.

Good question because I am looking a rod for my Shimano Bait runner. I think the 15 to 40 range would be best. If you want light weight, you have to look at G Loomis or one of the Terez models but they are so expensive. The Shimano Terramar are good rods but I think Shimano has dropped the line. They have also done away with their lifetime warranty as of August 1st so that causes me a little concern. Let me know what you end up with.

I am actually thinking of building my own rod from www.mudhole.com. They have all the blanks from seeker and calstar and phenix and the mhx blanks are good also. I have a shimano baitrunner 4500 also that I use that is over 10 years old and works great still. What model is yours? Last edited by buddha; 08-07-2014 at 08:07 PM. |

I have the same reel. It's a little power house.
Like a few said, I too am right handed, but generally prefer to keep the rod in my right hand. I usually wind up fishing ambidextrous. |
