Hello everyone -

Could anyone post the instructions on how to switch the retrieve on these reels? I currently would like to change from RHW to LHW and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Those settings look suspiciously the same to me. ;)

Looking closely, the curved part of the click pawl is up against the spring when engaged...so the sharp point reaches the gear to provide some resistance (the drag).

That is the good part of the click & pawl system..quite easy to switch to left or right hand retrieves.

Gorgeous reel, BTW, made by Hardy for Winston, evidently...

Russell, that's because I only LHW in a mirror-world.
