Changing a Sage 3300D from left to Right hand wind

[Doug Gasmier]

I have a Sage 3300D , that is set up for left hand wind.

Is there a way to swap it to right hand wind?

I think you needed a special tool to do it.

Dougie those 2 holes in top of the spool housing correspond to a tool that had 2 spikes 1 released it the other was just for guiding spike.
Find a needle that matches the diameter (close fit)of a hole and cut of the sharp point , see which side you can depress down and the other side shouldn’t.
While depressing down try and turn the housing after that it’s just the usual flip over the one way bearing, and reverse the fitment.
See how you go.

Thanks Birchy,

I will look around the shed and see what can fit and see if it works.

Turn reel upside down. Reel backwards. You can thank me for this helpful tip later Dougie.

Dougie send me a PM if you need a 3rd hand.

[Doug Gasmier]

Hi Tony.

There's obviously a story behind that tip.

I will bring the reel into the next meeting and you can show me the trick.

Birchy I would Pm you but the pm is still not working for me.

That will be fixed a the next meeting too. Hopefully.
