Hello, I have a penn 750ss that I come into.. I think that its setup for a left handed person. Is there a way that I can change it over to a right handed reel? Your help will help. Thanks :dude:

The original SS Penn reels are convertible from right to left. You need to change out the pivot screw on the handle.
