tackle shops? Alot of the big reel manufacturers make overhead reels with left hand wind.. just ask at your local tackleshop for the type you want and see if its available in left hand configuration

Hey finga
A lot of tackle stores are stocking them now.
Many companies are now supplying left handed baitcasters and overheads.
Depends what you are after.

All Left hand Abu Garcia overheads have a model number ending in 01 e.g. if you wanted the 7000 it would be 7001 or a 5600 would be 5601. Unfortunately, I am unsure if they are available across the whole range (ie 9000/10000 for the bigger ones)

finga, give Tony a ring at Agnes Bait and Tackle, he has some in there. Go up four posts and there's a link to his shop at the bottom of his post.
Guaranteed service with a smile, although the eyes aren't always fully open.

Cheers, thanks fellas.
A mate was over from New Caledonia and he was looking whilst he was here.
From what I hear I better go there for a fish.
He has a 7m cruiser and go out for days on end. Fish in roughly 200-250m of water. That's why I have been looking for the bigger gear. It's for him.
He likes Aussie to buy stuff. Good exchange rate and just plain cheap.
Took him to a few boat shops, tackle shops and tool shops and his plastic swipey card just simply melted ;D
Next problem, getting all the stuff home. Pallet maybe big enough. :P
