About to order a Penn 30 VISX reel but thought I'd see if someone had one they would rather turn into cash first. Could maybe go down to a 20 but nothing smaller. Not committed to Penn, just needs to be a decent reel.

Don't need another rod but I said that about 4 spare rods ago so another one isn't out of the question..

Thanks in advance.

Learn to reel lefty. In fly fishing it's a big advantage not having to switch hands between casting and reeling. I prefer lefty now after making the switch years ago.

Maybe... But I don't think I want to make the switch while tugging on a pissed off 150# tuna..

I’m left handed, I’ve never been comfortable with a left hand reel. Cast with left, reel with right. Idk why so many right handed guys cast right, reel right.

I'm right handed and it's my strong arm. I cast right handed and reel left handed . But, on big fish, especially on anything over 50 pounds and on a openfaced reel i reel with my strong hand. It gives me much more coordination and strength.

Either one of the Avets. $400.00. Both new and never fished. The Penn 50 is a 90 vintage reel and it was my Dad's with his name on it. Never going to use it so someone should. That one is $350.00.

Thanks but probably pass due to capacity and drag but I'll talk to Ted about hotrodding it.
