Nice price Mike. Is the size a step up from the 6500 C3 and do they offer a lefty model?

It is up from the 6500, a full size 7000 . At this time no left handed reels.

Holy chit about time, that thing looks sweet. Love the new handle, and the fact that it comes with a beefier drag right off the bat.

Mike, any idea whether they'll accept ordinary 7000 series spools?
