Good reel, great price for it. Not a southpaw so I have no use for it, but lefties have at it.

Not a fly fisherman are you? After decades, I have finally gone back to a spinning reel, bait caster an Abu, and this Penn.

Fly fishing you use your left hand to control the line, left hand with the reel when you need it.

So my Abu and Penn are both left handed. It's a joy not to have to constantly switch hands. I find a right handed reel just weird and I'm right handed!

This Penn Squall II is my favorite reel. I unfortunately can't use it as much as I would like, bit too much for pier fishing, I just use the 4000 spinning reel on the piers, from the beach the Squall is great, seldom do I get a backlash chunking a 6 0z weight with it into the wind.

They only make the CS for the 12 and 15 size I think.
