What sort of boat fishing?
A massive range of reel sizes all with different purposes, dependent on target species and ground being fished

Hi,looking for a l/h reel for boat fishing.like most people don't wont to spend a fortune,the right side of a £100 please.
Abu do a few left handers,so you could have a look at their range. Avet do some but they are a bit over the price you are aiming for. If you want a cheaper robust reel,the Policansky range can be converted to left or right hand wind with a simple reversal of one part. You would probably need to get one secondhand but don't let that put you off,they are bullet proof reels.

It looks like the pennies might have to come out, the best I've been able to find was the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 7000i-LH for £80 posted. As I'm no expert on these reels would this be a good choice for general boat fishing please?

Yes.
I have one, great for heavy beach and general boat work.
Although the newer Abu stock it is still very well made with chromed inner plates etc, some of the smaller new abu's have uncoated plates and lots of cheapy plastic bits. The 7001i doesnt.
