Okuma Classic CLX-300LXA LH: The Left-Handed Saltwater Workhorse

For many boat anglers, finding a reliable, budget-friendly multiplier in a left-hand wind can be a challenge. At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend the Okuma Classic CLX-300LXA as the perfect entry-level solution for the southpaw angler or anyone who prefers to keep their dominant hand on the rod for better control.

This reel is built for durability without the weight. Featuring a lightweight, ported graphite frame and a stainless steel reel foot, it provides a rigid foundation that won’t succumb to the corrosive effects of saltwater. The inclusion of a stainless steel levelwind system takes the guesswork out of line management, automatically laying your line perfectly across the spool so you can focus on the bite.

Key Features for Every Angler

Left-Hand Retrieve: Specifically designed for anglers who prefer to wind with their left hand, offering a more natural feel for many modern fishermen.
Self-Lubricating Gear System: This smart system automatically coats the gears in oil during use, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of the reel with minimal maintenance.
Rulidium Drag System: Provides a smooth and reliable drag curve, which is essential for preventing line breaks when a fish makes a sudden run near the boat.
Stainless Steel Levelwind: Eliminates the need to manually guide the line with your thumb, ensuring a flat line lay for a faster, tangle-free drop back to the seabed.

Where to Use the Okuma Classic CLX-300LXA

This reel is a versatile choice for various UK boat fishing scenarios:

Mackerel Feathering: The 3.8:1 gear ratio provides the “winch” power needed to haul up full sets of feathers from the depths without straining.
Inshore Reef Fishing: Perfect for targeting Bream, Whiting, and Gurnard. The lightweight frame makes it comfortable for juniors and adults alike to hold throughout the day.
Estuary Boat Fishing: Ideal for targeting Flounder, Bass, or Eels in tidal rivers and estuaries where a simple, reliable reel is all you need.
Light Wrecking: A great “first reel” for those wanting to try their hand at wrecking for Pollack or Cod without breaking the bank.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: Left-hand wind multipliers are becoming increasingly popular for “lure” style boat fishing because they allow right-handed anglers to hold the rod with their strongest arm for better “jigging” action. The CLX-300LXA is the most cost-effective way to try this setup.
