Left hand spinning reels

Righty anglers in the U.S. most often choose this type of equipment. These models allow fishermen to confidently hold & control the rod with their right hand, which is stronger and better coordinated while turning the reel handle with their left hand. Left handed spinning reels are produced by all the top brands, so it will not be a problem to find a variant with the right strength/power/capacity of the line. With such versatile equipment from our fishing gear shop you can catch any prey: from freshwater carp to sea grouper.

  • High-quality Left Handed Spinning Reels chosen by anglers for best catch

    High-quality Left Handed Spinning Reels chosen by anglers for best catch

    There is a huge selection of these models, because "left-handed" is only one of their characteristics. Looking for Spinning Reels for small/skittish fish? A lightweight left-handed model (size 500-2,000) with a gear ratio of 6.0:1 or more and not so big line capacity may be right for you.

    Hunting a huge marine predator such as barracuda or tuna? Then choose a large model (size 5,000 to 30,000+) with a low gear ratio and a powerful braking system. 

    The main thing is that the TOP includes gear made of high-quality materials + with high durability + giving a feeling of comfort even when fishing for a long time.

    And remember, left hand spinning reels are not only available for freshwater (rivers/lakes/streams). There are also models with extra protection that can withstand salt water and last for more than one season.

      Anglers in the USA, especially righties, most often choose these models rather than right-handed. And all thanks to such advantages:

      • With the right hand, you will be able to control the rod more confidently, better perform maneuvers and instantly respond to the fish's bite. In addition, the Spinning Rod does not need to be moved to the other hand after throwing;
      • Fishermen holding the rod in the right hand will be less tired. This is especially important for long angling trips;
      • This option is the easiest and most convenient for training. So it is recommended for beginners;
      • Like all spinning fishing reels, these models are known for their adaptability/versatility. It is about techniques (from jigging to long-casting style) and water bodies (from streams to oceans). The lures can be varied, too. Light baits work best, though. For example, micro jigs, soft plastics, small spoons and so on;
      • This type of reel performs particularly well when casting long distances + catching medium-sized fish. The sensitivity of this equipment is also usually high.

      FAQ

      Are left-handed models suitable for lefties anglers?

      Yes, not only righties buy them. This is a good option if it is more convenient for the fisherman to control the rotation of the reel with their stronger hand (in the case of lefties - left hand). This will increase the chances of quickly pulling out large and resisting prey.

      Is it possible to catch trophy prey with these reels?

      Yes, but you need to buy the most powerful/strongest models with a high gear ratio (size from 5,000+). A powerful drag system + large spool capacity is also important.

      check_box

      How is such a reel attached to the rod?

      The reel is attached to the bottom of the rod (as standard). But left-handed models will have the handle on the left side. It means that you will rotate the mechanism with your left hand.

      check_box

      Are these reels suitable for fishing in confined spaces/difficult terrain with densely vegetated?

      Yes, as you will be controlling the rod/casting with your right and stronger hand. This can help in difficult conditions. But in such a case, it is better to choose lightweight/compact models that increase maneuverability.
