Who uses left handed reels?
 
If anyone uses left hand retreive reels, you can get them for CHEAP on ebay!! I saw some brand new curados go for less than 100 bucks. Almost make me want to start using my left hand to reel. Just wanted to let you leftys know.

talked about this yesterday..........Just because they say brand new...That dont really mean BRAND NEW........ I was in formed by the Shimano Dealer that these reels going cheep on Ebay are Refurbished reels.... Selling new, Dont get me wrong the reels work but what happens is...... If you buy a reel from Academy and it breaks...You ship back to Shimano and they fix it...well that reel cant be re sold in a Major store like Academy but its still a good reel! So these small companies pick them up half price and sale on Ebay....

So you are getting a second hand reel or Refurbished reel. By Law they can say its brand new because it came from Shimano as a new reel after refurbished

I'm a righty but use lefty reels.......when I cast, I just start reeling.....none of the switching rod from hand to hand to cast then retrieve.....its easier, and the reels are always cheaper!!!!!

None left that I can see for less than $100.

All "buy now" prices are about $20 cheaper than Academy but you're taking a chance......

It ain't hard. You get used to it in one trip.......do you reel with left hand on a spinning reel? I always did and figured it was an easy jump to baitcasters......I was rigt

longsidelandry 02-17-2010 02:01 PM
