Watching bass pros cast and then switch the rod to the other hand makes me crazy
I have and/or had several conventional lefties but only one level winds so far - a Penn Fantom. I have no complaints.
I did have a ABU Garcia 6501 - HATED IT. - No power.
Be careful ordering, they are available in many configurations.
Penn might also have more Squall - MODEL # SQL20LWLH
Thanks to Jighead, I converted from right to lefty baitcasters. It was a hassle using the right handed reel when that is my dominant hand. The whole “switch over” after you casted was a real drag. Missed a few fish during the switch when the bait was grabbed as soon as it hit the water. It was a no brainer NOT to buy anymore right handers
