Changing reel from left to right hand

[sporty1]

I have recently aquired a Redington Fly reel. It is currently orientated as left handed. As I have no instruction manual but do have the necessary tool, how do I change this reel to right handed use? Can anyone help?

I'd e-mail redington jimh@redington.com
or visit their site http://www.redington.com/

You'll have to take any backing off before you change the retrieve direction, and put it back on after the change.

Just goes to show that present reel technology isn't as flash hot as we would believe. My old Feurer A/R reel circa 1970 had a changeover system that needed a flip of a L/R knob and you then turned the spool over, same both sides. Very easy. Old isn't necessarily decrepid. Max
