How cool is that! And how cool were u to share your intel!

So rad!

Let me know how you like that reel after putting it through its paces on the kayak. I'm also a weirdo when it comes to baitcasters and use leftys. Been looking into that Komodo. Everything I hear about it is good. At half off, no wonder there was only one left, scored!

I met him long time ago via pierfishing.com website.

He is a nice guy indeed.

He came to LA to pickup a kayak and I stored it for him for few days. We also fished the Venice pier in a foggy night before he left.


Having breakfast at Poly’s on the Redondo Sportfishing pier.


Small world isn't it?

I have a few reels I want in lefty that I want to sell the Truth SG and the Avet SXJ MC if you are interested. I have the older model Okuma Komodo in left handed and I like it a lot. Casts really great and strong enough for yellowtail in the 25 lb. class maybe 30. I use it for calico mostly and a great reel. This new reel I will use more for yo yo fishing for yellowtail.

thanks for the offer, and those are nice reels. however im a total weirdo and fish right handed for my conventional reels. so i wouldnt be interested in those.

ive been looking into a larger baitcaster like the komodo or lexa....but really like the komodo. will be using it for the same purposes as you.

So you use left handed for baitcasters but right handed for conventional? The komodo is larger than the lexa, has great reviews and built like a tank.

Hey Buddha, I'll make sure he sees this!

.02 here..... Komodo is AWESOME. I have the older one (gray with red accents) and its a very comfortable and confidence inspiring casting reel. Havent landed anything on it yet, but it's slotted as my primary 10-20lb reel and wouldnt hesitate to add another to the locker.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure there are some lefties on fleabay for less than $200. Not half off, but the next best deal I can find....

It amazes me that he remembered me after longer than 2 years, never met me ever in person but just wanted to help out a fellow fisherman.
