Hi,

It so happens that my wife is right handed and I am left handed. I
have noticed that almost all anti-revers fly reels such as Billy Pate
and Abel a/r models can't be switched from right to left hand use.

Does anybody know of an a/r fly reel that can easily be switched from
right to left hand use? Any information would be appreciated.

Not many trout fishermen I know use a/r reels-- not much knuckle-busting
going on. Would your wife be happy enough if you bought her a regular old
reel of her very own? Keep in mind that even if you found an a/r reel that
changed easily, you'd still need separate spools, and I bet they don't come
cheap on an a/r reel.

Sorry I can't be of real help.
