- Heavier, but you can palm the spool- another trick I learned form Bill Hunter- on steelhead or salmon- don't change the drag (60% of breaking strength of your leader) lower the rod and reel into the water and hydraulic pressure of the current adds drag- Both the Perfacts and the medalists were not make for easy conversion to LH wind, however-
