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!!

Bob is a lefty so don't stand next to him
when he is filletting fish, dangerous but when he uses a reel he's a rightie, figure that one out. Doesn't look awkward.
