Linda asks…
Fly fishing reels?
This may seem like a dumb question for all you fly fishing guys out there, but after years of fishing with spinning, bait casters and even spincast when I was a wee lad, I finally got myself a cheap fly outfit…The question I have is, that this reel is a click drag set up, but do I have to mount it right hand retreive or can I mount it left hand? It turns and clicks both ways…help me out guys.
Thanks in advance

OK this is simple, but since your just starting out its not so easy. Many fly reels have a ratchet type clicker and its often on reels intended for left hand wind, the ones with ratchet clickers on both line in and out are mostly for right handed users but they can be converted to left, unless your retrieving the fish with the reel the retrieving side makes very little difference, if it bothers you move to a reel such as he airflo c8 as this will only “click” when line is being taken out, often reels that sound both ways are made by leeda, and are cassette reels, the LC 100 is one of them. One last thing is if your worried that you cant change the retrieve side you can simply turn the reel you have at the minute round so that the line guard faces forwards, many of them have a double line guard now for tool-less changing.
