Re: penn magg reel alteration
Is this your first multiplier? Generally multipliers will be right handed unless you happen to be left handed....?

Re: penn magg reel alteration
this is my first multiplier alright,i have a abu garcia bait caster which i got from america and its left handed..i am actually right handed but i prefer to reel with my left...all my reels are left handed so it may take a bit of getting used too...

You won't be long getting used to it don't worry, after a handful of outings it'll be like second nature to you!

Re: penn magg reel alteration
I was like yourself it didn't feel natural having the handle on the right but stuck with it and 3 months later it's like I've been dong it for years. Stick with it
