The kit is the same from salt to bass, just diffrent flies. And no the reel cant be switched.

I cast with my right,crank left have no problems. Don't see that there will be any problems for you.

I think it's intended for freshwater, given the size of the reel (6 weight), but just like most reels nowadays, it would probably be fine in the saltwater as long as you rinse it off in freshwater at the end of the day.

You can take off the handle and move it to the other side so lefties and righties can use the same reel. It's a great reel; one of my favorites.

I have 3 of these reels I am real happy with them. I use them for bass and catfish the line I use is 20lb breaded line super good for25lb catfish. I had no problem. I say give it a try and see what happen for the price you can not beat it. GO FOR IT

I have two of the 30's and use them for bass and other freshwater fish. They have worked for me and would recommend them. I would suggest that you use braided line with a florocarbon leader.

No, the one I bought is right hand only. You might check to see if you can order the same reel but with a left hand presentation. If they don't, you might consider a spinning reel because most of them can convert to right or left hand use. Hope this helps!

Cold water reels;CW303DLX are left handed. Okuma does have a site and all sizes are listed.Unless you're fishing salt water the 300 series holds a lot of line for any fresh water fishing.CamS

Yes, that should not be a problem. This reel works with both 9 and 7 weight. Just match the line to the rod.

Yes, it is a r/handed reel. I don't think Penn made any l/handed models in the fathom line. The only adgustment offered is hand crank, you can either lengthen it or short it

it is a left handed model. That means you turn the crank with your R hand, like a R handed spinning reel, but, bait casters are usually opposite.

It could be, you will need to change your reel. This reel is not for salt water use.

Steve..that is a personal preference for you to decide....I am right handed..but I prefer a left-handed real....I do not like to change hands between casting and reeling..I often fish top-water lures, and many times will get a strike as soon as the bait hits the water....just when you are changing hands with a RH reel!!! Also, the rod should be in your Master hand (RT) so you can better react to the fishes fight.....Your left hand can easily master the cranking of the reel, and it is just MY preference!!! If you can borrow a rt and lt handed reel and try them both out and see which you prefer!!! I have shown many of my friends, family, etc....the Left-handed idea, and 90% of them have converted to the LH crank!!! Their popularity can be seen by the huge increase of LH models available now!!!! BUT!!! Again..ITs YOUR decision to make!!! Good Luck....and be sure to leave a few for me!!! Jim

I believe you can just turn the reel around; however mine is a LEFT hand retrieve because that is the way I mounted the reel with the handle pointing toward the left. You have a great reel and should work perfect!

Yep...I cast right handed, crank left so I do not have to move rod to left hand to crank. Works for me.

left handed -to reel in line you have to use your left hand i see no way to make it a right handed reel
