Greetings, To change from right to left hand the whole body of this reel rotates from one side to the other. It uses some kind of freewheel system. The rotor keeps spinning after you stop reeling if there is no tension on the line. Very unique reel. The anti-reverse isn't working but may be an easy fix; I didn't try to repair it. Med/heavy reel in used condition. Pics show the condition. Still highly collectible and unusual. God bless you and thanks for looking!
