i got an Abu Garcia 7001HS biggame and it is on a Lami SB1213M. I am not a lefty, but common sense told me that there was no logical reason to get a normal conventional reel for the limited times I will be using it. I have used right handed ones and they felt totaly awkward to me and I would have troubles imparting the action i wanted to my plugs. With this lefty, its just like I am reeling in a spinner, so I like it.
