A good slow (5:something) that is left handed. There are not really that many of these reels that I’ve found but I’ll take any one of them ?

Not sure if you’ve tried the Abu Garcia Revo x. I bought one for the same reason 2 years ago and so far no issues although I’m not on the water as much as most others.

Just looked at it. Awesome, thank you. Another reel to consider

The ZPI Alcance LS is out there with 5.6 gears and 11-g machined spool.  

This reel is essentially a bench-raced-out Revo X.

I'm under the impression that I can have any reel, however the old Korean Trion wide RH in a 6.3 is proving a tad difficult to locate.

Shimano Metanium MGL or Daiwa Steez CT SV. I like high end equipment. 

I've been eyeballing an SV Light Ltd, supposed to be a fantastic reel.  One of the Japanese shops has a nice deal going on them right now, so I'm sitting here chomping at the bit.

I guess I already have all of the reels I wanted, but yet a guy could always use another Steez, SV103, J-Dream, Zillion or Metanium,....or maybe an SS Air, or a Nice Ryoga or Namiki Steez LTD?

I guess I may be an addict...

Still, most of you guys don't get the imaginary spending OP's imaginary money here.  

Shoot for the stars, like a ZPI Zpride, which is a bench-tuned Metanium

 

or one of Don Iovino's custom Ambassadeurs

 

Always have to wonder why these threads turn into platitudes, but the psychology isn't pretty.  

i think I just added both of these works of art to my list...

 

P.S..You nailed it on the psychology thing I'd say.

Yeah, me too...problem is that I also found a nice NIB SS Air for a darned good price too. with a little luck I won't be able to make up my mind and will miss out on both...

Daiwa TD-Z Personal Order,any color.
