Advice on left hand retrieve reels

[Small Fry]

I'm looking for a reel larger then my Penn GT 321 for off-shore fishing. I searched the west side stores Friday and could find anything. I'll head East this week in me search. Hoping to stay under $200.

What do you use?




Anyone have one to sell?

A bit more than you want to spend, but I would not trade my 2 speed Avet lefty for anything.

Like Ryan said, the Avet EX4/0-2 is a discontinued two speed reel that they made in a left hand version. The "E" place may be one of your best bets. New they were about $300, might be able to find used for less.

Good luck with the search. Only model I've found in LH is the Penn GT 321. If you find a non levelwind in LH model please let me know.

You can find left-hand Penn Senator 113H 4/0 and lefty Newells and Avets on the website with the Great White on it.

I guess I should have noted. Non level wind prefered.

got a couple of 4/0 penn 113hl's in pieces, also have a left hand gear set. just out of curiosity, is there something you need to catch that you can't beat with a left handed penn 321 and 65# spectra and 20#'s of drag?

My main concern is line capacity. The 321 only holds about 300 yards of 65 LB tuff line. If I’m fishing 600 to 700 foot with a big drift I'm out of my comfort level. I'm looking for something that will hold 400 + yards.

Thanks Nancy. I'll let it sit there for Lori to read. Maybe I'll get lucky and get one for my birthday or Ftahers day since they fall a couple day apart.

You're so sneaky. You better hope she doesn't start reading in here since she's on the OTC crew!

Nice to talk with you hope I helped.

Hey, are you a Gemini too........ 6-7 for me, and if you have to know the year, it's double nickle..YA, gettin old, I know and after 2 back to back Hali days I sometimes feel old.

how about 50# spectra? it will probably cut through the water better. i guess what i'm saying is to not underestimate the penn 321. you can leave the leveler on or take it off. there are lots of options. alan
