myocard Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Why are spinning reels set up in shops with the handle on the left? Checking photos online - handles on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewgaffer Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Why are spinning reels set up in shops with the handle on the left? Checking photos online - handles on the left. Good question myocard it's probably got something to do with the way the reels arrive when they reach the handle fitters who are probably chosen from a line up of the shortest and most obese right handers. You've got to watch it when you're buying an Alvey in a hurry and tipped a cab driver to park on the footpath. Cheers jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myocard Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) You've got to watch it when you're buying an Alvey in a hurry and tipped a cab driver to park on the footpath. That is a tip worth remembering. You've also enlightened me to the fact that I am qualified to attach handles to reels - something to fall back on Edited February 5, 2010 by myocard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
