Left handed spinning reel?
 

When my dad passed several years ago, I inherited a true left handed Abu
Garcia Cardinal spinning reel. The bail actually spun the opposite way from
the common type of reel we all have. My left handed wife loved it.
Recently I dropped it in my garage and broke the bail in an irreparable way.
I can't seem to find another lefty reel besides a Van Stall and I don't
want to drop the bucks on one of those if I don't have to but it will help
me out to accommodate my wife as much as possible. Many of you are aware of
this concept.
Anyway, if anyone has a suggestion or a lefty spinning reel to sell let
me know.

Thanks,

Rich,
Almost every model of spinning reel has the ability to change the
crank for left handed people. I have all my spinning reels set up
this way.

Just a thought.

BTW, have you checked e-bay?

I think he knows that but wants one that the rotor actually spins in
the opposite direction from a "convertable" reel.

Damn, I knew I shouldn't have kicked over that bit bucket. Back in
the garbage with you.

Ploink!

Was that a left hand 300 Mitchell? I think the lefty was a 301

They are the only spinning reel that rotates the opposite way from most all
others in right or left hand model.

I think when you got it in a left hand it just happens to be the left hand
bail as well because they all were.

Look for one on eBay.
