Follow-up question!!!

I took a look at the 6000/8000/10000 class spinning reels out there and remembered why I didn't get one of them sooner - they're huge (that's what she said). So now I'm basically looking at a smaller round conventional so I can get the line capacity without the large form factor.

What do you guys recommend? Oh... and I would really prefer a lefty crank. I tried out a Cardiff 401 at Big5 and it looks like it will be able to carry 300+ yards of 40lb braid.

What are some other options for round conventionals with lefty cranks? Thanks!
