Left Handed Multipliers

[Scott T]

Hi,

 

Can anyone recommend a medium size left handed boat multiplier, its not for me but my cack handed father, hes got a 12lb set of gear, he's currently using an Avet, but he wants a 20/30lb set as well, and there ain't many out there, Abu 7001 would be too small, and the Shimano TLD's only come right handed.

 

Any suggestions???

 

Thanks

Penn 320 GTi comes in LH as the 321, star or lever drag I think.

The Penn 321 is virtually bomb proof. I have all left handed reels as this is the right way to hold your tackle!!!!!!

 

Most of my Abu left handed reels have disintegrated or develope niggly faults at regular intervals but the Penn just works. The only problem once was the level wind pawl got worn out. But this was because the reel got used a lot as opposed to the Abu's which were out of service.

 

For a really good lightweight reel in left hand, try the "Toothy Critter". Sounds a joke but it really is a brilliant piece of engineering.

 

Good luck

Hi

 

I have a 320GTi which I obtained from Trago Mills at a great price as it was a recon model direct from the factory.

 

A nice reel which I have yet to put to any real test as I have not been wrecking for a long time.

Cheers for the helpfull response fella's,

 

The Penn was on the shortlist, looks like that or he digs deeper and buys a bigger Avet. Shame Shimano don't do a left handed TLD, just bought a 20 myself and its a quality unit.
