All Purpose Reel LHR

I've been looking for a good left hand retrieve reel for salmon, sturgeon, lings etc. I've found a bunch of great reels but none are LHR. I thought most people reeled with their left hand, guess not! Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Btw, I'm also in the market for a good all purpose rod to match and I was thinkin the Tiger Lite by Shakespeare seems like a nice rod. Good, bad rod?

TIA

Most people reel with their left hand on spinning reels and their right hand on conventional/bait casting reels.

Anyway, an Abu Garcia 6501 is a left hand reel that should do the trick.  As for a rod, a heavy 7 ft Tiger Lite would probably work well for a general purpose rod.  The action tends to be a bit slow on those rods and you might find that you'll want something faster for ling/rockfish jigging.

Sarge,
I've been using the 6501s for a while and love them. I even have an extra, relatively new one in great shape, I'd be happy to part with.

Thanks for info guys. What line are you using on that 6501 steelheadr?

I've been looking at the Lamiglas Sardina 870c..7', 1 piece, 15-30 line wt, fast $89.99 at BassPro. Combine that with an Abu Garcia 6501 at a combined price of $140-160 plus shipping.
