Yea I don't know much about offshore gear but they don't appear to be too common.

I buy most of my reels on eBay. But I also already know what I want.

I was hoping that if he's linking their website he's already looked there

It's definitely the first place in BR I'd check for offshore stuff.

I've checked at Superior but they didn't have a lefty.

I've used a righty a few times but I just can't handle it being left handed.

May just have to special order it...

Probably. You might be able to find something you want online for a bit of a discount if you look around enough

Yes, you will have to. Best place to order big game reels are from Tackledirect.com. About the best price one can find.
