My first Martin reel and I can't decide if it is set for right or left wind. Tightening and loosening the drag knob and winding the spool both ways makes me think that it is set for LHW. Tension difference is quite slight so hard to tell. I'm sure one of you guys can look at my photo and tell how it is set.

If in fact the reel is set for LHW how do I switch to RHW?

Thanks Ron for confirming my suspicions.

To switch to RH wind just flip the pawl. To increase the drag, you can stretch the spring a TINY bit.
