The reel comes ready for Left Hand Retrieve operation.

In order to change the reel from Left Hand Retrieve to Right Hand, unscrew (counter-lockwise) the knurled captive knob on the face of the spool. Lift the spool away from the reel frame (this may take some gentle wiggling). Invert the spool and in the centre of the hub is a round knurled retaining nut. Unscrew the retaining nut, that will expose the plastic end face of the one-way bearing. The bearing may be removed by inverting the spool and gently tapping it, inside face, down on any surface. The bearing should just drop out.
A metal inside bearing spacer may also drop out, place it back in the centre of the spool hub, before proceeding.

For Right-Hand Retrieve:
Place bearing into the hub with the metal shielded end of the bearing facing out.
For Left-Hand Retrieve:
Place bearing into the hub with the plastic end of the bearing facing out.

-Replace the knurled retaining nut, screw it down until slightly snug.
-Replace the spool on the reel frame by centering the spool on the axle and spinning the spool down until it seats, then gently screw the knurled captive knob clockwise until snug.
