Two Speed Conventional Reel

[The Great PF]

All of the reels that I own are spinners, capped off with a Stella 18K. I'm looking to either:

1. Pick up a slightly used Stella 20K (jigging), or
2. Pick up a conventional two speed reel for jigging/chunking; something with a lot of cranking power.

Avet offers a two speed in their LX model, but who else offers two speed reels suitable for yft in GOM? The conventional reel must be left-handed.

Any and all suggestions welcome, please.

P. F.

Sorry didn't see the lefty part.

2spd left handed accurate 500 or 600 with the low gear

Thanks, Paul, I'll check it out.

Accurate bx2 500 and 600 kick @$$. Probably the best reels I have ever owned

Avet HXJ 5/2 Raptor with upgraded HXW Power grip. You should be able to order a true left handed version. Fantastic 2-speed conventional reel.

Skip the Stella 20kSW for jigging IMO, you will never go spinning reel jigging again after you use conventional jigging reel, especially a 2-spd one.

lefty jigging master pe reel mabey a 6 for the GOM but i dont really know how much line capcity you will need. has a ton of cranking power and there is absolutly no need for the two speed with this reel, and i was always the one who wanted a two speed until i saw this reel and it instantly changed my view about the need of a two speed

I'm specifically Avet chunk/troll, Accurate jigging.
Jig reels are single speed by preference, BX-400x, BX-500x
chunk/troll Avets are HX-2, EX pro-30/2.
LX, MXJ just dont make enough RELIABLE drag to handle
60-70# yellows.
Avets are available LH, usually off the shelf, Dont know about Accurate, but I've seen a couple

looks like you're pretty happy w/ shimano, you might look at trini 30,40 or Ocea Jigger
JM reels are very nice, but noisy.

Thanks, guys, for all the feedback so far.

I don't have lefty, but if you want some normal people's Shimano Tiagra 50W 2 speed with roller rods, I have 3 sitting in the garage
