 Thanks Troy. But this one is not like others. You can unscrew bothe sides buth there is a square shaft on the handle and a round hole on he other side. Without taking the reel apart it won't fit. And when I take things apart they never go back together.

I'll take it off your hands for $30.

 

Seriously though it shouldn't be hard to change, or learn to use your left hand.
