I've been snooping around looking for a conventional casting reel, for a lefty. Several companies make them, however I have been having a difficult time finding 1 reel with the features I think I want/need. Perhaps you all might help me? I want to cast 3-6 oz, will fish in sandy areas (hence I'm told I should avoid levelwind). I come from a freshwater baitcaster background--so I think I'd like a star drag as opposed to a lever drag.

I would like to have a reel that has a magnet feature for reduction of birds nests. Sounds like a lot of people perform this mod themselves--easy to do?? How??

Looked at the Diawa Saltiga $400 --ouch!
Avet--lever drag
Abu 6500's--levelwind

Anybody know about Newell or Shimano offerings for lefty's?

Easier done w/freshwater gear I'm afraid.

Thanks in advance for all of your thoughts and time
