For your first conventional, don't go all out... Get a C3 (can't beat the price, especially with the rebate) or C4 as they come lefty, get the 1088 Sabre or All-Star and once you get really used to it, then you can expand your horizons with millimeter mag cast spool tension side plate controls using bumper fluid for lubricants - type fishing reels... Better yet, buy 2 C3s or the 6500 Anti Backlash, basically a C4 (don't use the "distance s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g" AB feature) but you get the second reel for free from ABU. That way you have a spare reel spooled and ready to go if you encounter "Professional Overrun" during the cast and can't pick out the line. Maybe pick up the power handle which is much nicer than the 6500 paddle handles...
When you get good and have a job, buy a Calcutta 400 - that comes in left handed models...
Slip, liking the new gear, eh ;D
