gnuisance Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'm a lefty but bought this on an impulse. This was originally and HS-P but the power handle was swapped for a paddle handle to improve casting and make it a better flukin reel. Ideally I'd like to trade for this same reel in lefty but would also consider other trades: shimano saragosa or spheros, new 706z, SSV 6500 bail less, lefty Newell, abu, akios or fathom. Or $120 shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w2f4 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Sorry I do not Darn, it's ridiculous what they want for handles. Like a stradic 5000fi handle i'm in need of, $50+. Thinking possible pick up offer on your lexa.... are you further north than union county, i work there occasionally, commute north on GSP to Clark/Kenilworth<>New Providence?

The paddle handle works better on the lexa than the PH, trust me. The power handle is good for heavy cranking or fighting a bigger fish but it is cumbersome, hinders casting and will all but eliminate a finesse approach of any kind. I'm in Morristown which is fairly close to New Providence. I also pass by Kenilworth on my way down to the hook. Let me know if you want it.

Given your advise against it, this isn't going to work for me. Thanks for sharing your valuable experience, and good luck with the sale. Looks like a very nice reel for your asking price, and will fit some finesse fisherman nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seed420 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Any interest in a trade for a SSV 6500bls? I unfortunately can't help you with the lefty model as I'm a righty myself. My 6500bls is slightly used ( casted about 6-12 times, never hooked up with anything). The reel is just mainly sitting on the shelf collecting dust and rather see someone put it to good use. The reel just doesn't fully suit me. I much more prefer my Shimano Ultegra XSC. Here's a picture of the reel. Any other pictures you would like to see just let me know. Appreciate the consideration.
