For all the lefty boaties

Ive been playing around with my Saltist 30T. A friend of mine have been looking around for a quality compact reel without paying an arm and his left testicle.

After about 30mins.....Ive managed to convert my right hand wind Saltist to a left hand wind reel!!

 when he is filletting fish, dangerous but when he uses a reel he's a rightie, figure that one out.  Doesn't look awkward.
