New 7001 i Left Hand Retrieve
 

How many bearings? Or bushings?

1 IAR Bearing.
2 Bushings that can be swaped out with bearings.

whats the small lever for on the toprear of the sideplate ?

Thats the clutch.
I need one of these, gotta sell some plugs off first :wid:

That is all too sexy! I love the oversize knob and carbon washers included...

That picture doesn't do that reel any justice.... Got mine today went down and fondled it for a bit ( i already knew i wanted it as lefty's are hard to come by)... Had Mike throw in 2 bearings and loaded it with 20lb hybrid... Now i'm going to try and not to trash it on the first outing.. I want it to look good for spring of next year but thats kinda hard to do...

SOLD OUT Of the leftys

This is the best abu I have owned yet and I have owned and still own my fair share. It was the only reel I fished during commercial season, which beats the $%#@ outta your gear. I even converted a spinning guy to conventional because of this real. I highly recomend it.

Mike, are u expecting more of these?
