Randy Phillips Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Just getting started into swimbaits. What do you guys recommend for left hand retrieve reels? Throwing hardgill, Hudson, s waver, deps 250. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluJay Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13964 Please read... That's a big range of baits not one reel can handle... Right or left it comes down to personal preferance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassindon69 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Get a 5 to 1 to start with. You may have to work harder on faster days but it's great for slow presentations . As for style of reel take your pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman88 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I started off with a Cardiff 301/Lexa 300. Till this day I prefer the Cardiff as i sold my kexa recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I like the Lexa and I believe with 20 CXX you could throw all the baits you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsteadyslayin Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Calcutta TE chucks my 250 a damn mile. Curado 300 would be perfect though. Can throw small as hudd 68's up to 250's....I have a Lexa.....it does its job, but its just cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raybass Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yep the Abu is a nice reel. I still need a good rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleybug Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I prefer the shimano reels hands down. I have the curado 300 and thee lexa the curado is alot smoother and much better built. Any calcutta 250 to 400 will work awsome to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynem Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I drove by his house today and Randy had dismantled one of the kids bike to duplicate this reel. Same lefty retrieve design with the advanced 1:1 gear ratio to boot. Can anyone ID the rod in the photo? Looks CUSTOM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
