I'm confused,the handle and the jack are on the same side,,is this reel a lefty?
Also ,is this size capable of throwing bunker chunks into the surf?

It's a lefty. The difference when you hold the reel the shift lever is forward away from you versus righty's are rearward towards you.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Do you think it's too small for throwing bunker chunks?

Bryan Young

I'm sorry. I don't know what bunker chunks are.

The reel is the size of a squidder.  The 145 width squidder.

Do you know what gear ratio they are?

It says on the side, an F is 5-1 which is the most common. They're are a few other options that are lower but I don't know that you'd find them in a lefty.
Do what you can with that you have where you are

This one says L-229-5

L= left hand, 229= 290 yards- 20# mono, 5= 5 to 1 gear ratio...
G series Newell with the steel bearing caps= preferred model...
It says new in box= rare these days... kinda pricey, Butt...
It is a Newell  ;D
