LH Cortez Conversion Squidder

[kmstorm64]

This is a post that should of been up here a while ago, but life got in the way and now I am trying to catch up.  I had emailed Tom at Cortez, and asked him about converting a Squidder kit to LH.  At the time it hadn't been done,  but he thought it shouldn't be an issue.  I had gotten a LH SS 98-155 from Alan way back when and  held on to it for the right reel.  When I saw the Cortez Squidder, I knew that was going to be the reel.   Add a Petah Double Dog Bridge, and I was in 7th heaven.  I have to admit 2020 did not give me a chance to try this baby out.  I have a salmon charter I am going on soon, and hope to take this with me.  They don't like braid up here, so I may have to switch spools.  So to the best of my knowledge, I think I have the worlds first Left Handed Cortez Conversion Double Dogged Squidder or LHCCDD_Squidder for short.

That's definitely nice looking.  I love my CC squidder.

you can do better (I mean the name, of course)
something as unique as the reel...  how 'bout:

Squidder-C2D2Sinister    ( Dexter would be the "common" R/H )

Wicked looking reel. Good luck on the charter.

I'm curious to see the Peetah DD bridge. I had a quick look through the Jigmaster/Squidder category, but couldn't find any thread on it. Was this ever posted?

Peetah mentioned it he was working on one. I reached out to him, and the rest is history.

All good, have done a Squidder bridge as per mhc's method, and wondered if someone else had come up another way.

Got to DD another Squidder bridge to complete my latest Cortez/Tiburon project

Well it is Red, it is owned by a Left Handed Person...Squidder Diablo!
