Great Combo
I bought this combo for the specific purpose of fishing mojo rigs in NJ for striped bass. The rod is light and responsive with good power and the reel is a trolling workhorse. I originally priced out other rods/ reels to get separately but in the end I'm glad I went this route. All in all a good deal.
This rod and reel combo are primarily used for trolling.
The reel does not have a line counter
Paul,<p>The Shimano Tekota TEK700 / TackleDirect Silver Hook TDSSUT661MHSB custom combo is a great option for trolling striper and blues. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.</p>
Unfortunately Shimano does not make the Tekota in left handed models. For a similar reel that is left handed I'd suggest looking at the Penn Squall Levelwind Reels, particular model number SQL30LWLH.
