can you use this to cast with your right hand and reel in the line with your left hand?

I just saw your question today so sorry about just now getting back to you. Actually I got this as a Christmas gift for my husband so it is still in the box and wrapped. When we saw it on amazon,com a few months ago, he said he would like to have one because he remembered seeing them advertise when he was a kid. He is hard to buy for so i got when i could.

Yes, works just fine. You may not want to sell your favorite rod & reel, but this is good for emergency's when you driving down the road and you pass a nice lake, you are always ready. works better than the little blue pill.

I cast with my right,crank left have no problems. Don't see that there will be any problems for you.

I have always used it in RH mode, but no reason, looking at the reel, why you can not use it either way.

I'm not certain. However, I checked the QuickStart guide and saw no reference to "left hand."From my view, I can think of no reason why it would not work for a left handed person.

I am right handed, so I use it clockwise but in order to answer your question, I tried it counter-clockwise and it worked. So you can use it either way.

I agree with the other posters. You'd have to cast it. The rod and reel are heavy. My wife can't cast it if that helps at all.

yes you can but you have to hold on tightly to the reel because the arm connected to the reel does not lock into place, making winding the hose difficult. There is an elbow that swings the reel out and in.

You can cast this reel but it is best used to troll for larger fish, as I do for salmon out of Humboldt Bay in Eureka California. I own three of these reels and find them durable and a great bargain for the price. I have owned them going on four seasons without a problem. Keep them oiled and release the drag over the winter and these should last a long time.

Not properly. Since a spinning reel mounts under the rod, if used in that configuration the line would not pass over the very top most roller but would instead be abraded by the roller guide wire.

I have never tried to, but I believe that your can. It will be a reverse draw though if you're right hand dominant. Unless you make your own sheath which is what I did.

Thanks, but not sure how that would work... you're supposed to take a 'piece' of line, double it over, and loop the middle of the piece around the reel and then start turning the reel to wind it on. Guess I'll just take a LONG piece and if I waste some, so be it.

It can be turned around. It is very easy to do. There is a mechanism that screws tight to secure the reel to the rod. It can easily be unscrewed to flip the reel around for left handed use and then re-tightened

You should have an option to choose left or right. The "B" is for the design of the components that make up the reel. There are models of the 400. Make sure to read the full description so you get what you want. mine is a right handed. Awesome reel! Have fun!

Yes, It can be used with one hand. If you don't have any hand strength you might need two. I have had no problems using it at all.

Yes, you can mount this reel either way, left or right. The "drag" system is a simple clicker , and it shrieks like a banshee in either direction. Hope this helps.... Ben

A left-handed person can use it because with your left hand you still turn it clockwise, not counter clockwise. Actually never had anyone ask about left-hand use and this benriner has been around a long, long time and we have sold it for years and I am sure there have been left-handed users. Thank you.
