Top 10 Best Baitcast Reels Left Handeds
for June 2023

KastKing's Royale Legend II is the best baitcasting reel we've tested, and it's the best value, too. The Royale Legend II is exceedingly smooth, and it casts farther and easier than just about any other baitcasting reel we've tested. This is largely because of KastKing's CrossFire braking system, which delivers excellent line control in windy conditions. The CrossFire button can be easily adjusted between 0 and 10 levels, and KastKing claims that adjustments can be made while fishing. The Royale Legend II also comes with a triple-disc carbon drag, which delivers plenty of stopping power, and is very smooth. The Royale Legend II is also KastKing's smallest baitcasting reel, at just over 4 inches, which makes it a great choice for anglers who want a small, lightweight reel. The Royale Legend II is also a great value, priced at around $40. It's as good as the more expensive KastKing baitcasters we tested, and it beats the current champ, the Abu Garcia Revo S, by a significant margin.

Piscifun's Torrent Left-Handed Baitcasting Reel is a great value for the price, and it's an appealing choice for anyone who fishes regularly. The reel has a lightweight, low profile design, and it feels responsive and well balanced. The 7.1:1 gear ratio is good for nearly any freshwater or saltwater fishing situation, and it's not exotic or hard to find. The reel has a durable frame, and its sideplate oil port is convenient for regular maintenance. The reel's sideplate is held on with screws, so it's easy to remove and inspect. The internal gears are large and durable, and they're also made of Japanese Hami cut brass, which is more corrosion resistant than traditional steel. The Torrent is also great for beginners, as it has 12 magnetic settings instead of the traditional two or three. These settings allow you to dial in the exact drag resistance you prefer. Piscifun's Torrent Left-Handed Baitcasting Reel is a great option for anyone who wants to step up from an entry-level baitcaster.

The KastKing Rover 60 is a solid value at a low price. It does a good job of delivering power and performance, but like most levelwind reels, the Rover is a little rough around the edges. We liked the Rover 60's powerful ball bearings and carbon fiber drag system, and we like the included spare spool, which makes it more economical than buying one separately. The reel is also sturdy and built to last, and it's durable enough to handle a rigors of all-day fishing. Our only complaint is the plastic handle, which is a little flimsy and tends to get uncomfortable over time. Even so, at $69, the KastKing Rover 60 is a great value.

The Piscifun Alijos 300 is an outstanding baitcasting reel for anglers who demand a lot from their reels. This reel is specifically designed for big fish, and it's loaded with high-end components, including a 33Lb drag, Hamai cut hardened brass gearing, and 8 double shielded stainless steel bearings. It's powerful, smooth, and extremely easy to use.

The KastKing ReKon Line Counter reels are impressive in many ways. They feel solid and well built, and their performance on test was as good as any baitcasting reel we tested. The mechanical line counter on these reels was exceptionally accurate, as were their performances under load. The drag system was smooth and powerful, and the gear ratio on these reels was well-suited for fishing leadcore and braided lines. The only potential drawback to these reels is the relatively small line capacity. Both size reels held about 250 yards of 20 lb. mono or about 10 colors of Micro Leadcore line and about 320 yards of 25 lb. mono or equivalent braided line respectively. While this is enough for most anglers, anglers who fish with heavy monofilament fishing line or who fish with heavier leadcore may need a slightly larger baitcasting reel. However, anglers who fish with light monofilament fishing line or who fish with leadcore that is very light weight shouldn't need a much larger baitcasting reel.

The KastKing Kapstan Elite 300 baitcasting reel is a top shelf, all-around fishing reel that does everything well, from cranking in big fish to casting large lures. It's powered by a reliable triple disc carbon drag system, with 35 lbs of fish stopping drag, and it's tournament proven. The KastKing Kapstan Elite 300 has 8 ball bearings, plus an instant anti-reverse bearing, and its spool is constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The reel's casting capabilities are superb, and it's quite resistant to line twist, so it's an ideal choice for saltwater or freshwater fishing. The reel's handle has a very comfortable, oversized EVA grip, and its quick release spool lock is easy to use. The reel is quiet and very smooth, and its oversized handle makes it easier to reel in big fish. The KastKing Kapstan Elite 300 weighs 13.4 ounces, which is heavier than most baitcasting reels, but it's quite manageable. The KastKing Kapstan Elite 300 baitcasting reel is a great choice for freshwater fishing, inshore saltwater fishing, or for any serious angler who demands a top quality, tournament proven fishing reel.

If you're looking for a medium-heavy saltwater baitcasting reel, the Piscifun Alijos 300 is a great choice.

Fishing reels are such small pieces of fishing tackle that it can be hard to know which ones to go for, and what makes one good and one bad. The Acast 60030D is a good option, as it's well-made, smooth, and affordable. It's powered by a 12BB ball bearing, which offers plenty of power for fishing heavier line. The Acast 60030D has a relatively tight line capacity -- 0.4-0.9 grams per inch, or 0.45-0.50 grams of line per foot -- but we found that it was comfortable to use, and it's relatively easy to tune. The Acast 60030D's casting distance is about 25 feet, which is a little shorter than the of the 30-foot range that we prefer, but it's adequate for fishing in pools or lakes, and it's also enough for longer casting. The Acast 60030D performs well for freshwater and saltwater fishing, and it's especially good for fishing on rocky, grassy, or muddy ground, as it's durable and can cut through plenty of twigs and grass. The Acast 60030D's construction is also good; it's made of a tough, lightweight material, which makes it easy to hold and cast. It's also relatively lightweight, so it's comfortable to use in a variety of conditions. The Acast 60030D comes with a spare spool, a spool holder, and a fishing line counter that mounts on the rod. The counter is very easy to use, and counts both lines out both lines, and it's made of a tough, lightweight material, so it's durable.
