how do I convert my 6000 reel from left to right

Hold the winder steady in the left hand. With the right hand, unscrew the locking nut or cover on the opposite side. Gently pull out the winder and insert in on the right side and use the locking nut/cover to finish the conversion.

Yes it is left-hand compatible. The reel handle can be placed on either side by unscrewing a nut on the opposite side of the handle.

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

Installation instructions can be found on their website which shows how to switch them to left handed (they come set up for crank on the right). I swtiched both of mine in under 10 minutes before install. You simply change the "clutch end" and then swap the caps in the rod. Insructions are on Coolaroo's site --> http://www.coolaroousa.com/img/product/description/Cordless-SS-IM-TRILINGUAL.pdf

Pull the rod out to the desired length and turn in the direction of the arrows. Not sure why you're having trouble.

An internet search to "change eagle claw reel retrieve" will show you how. Mine was set up for a left hand retrieve right out of the box.

No, Right hand means reeling with right hand. I am right handed but prefer a left hand reel. If a right hander uses a right hand reel they will need switch the rod to the left hand when reeling in line. This seems awkward to me.

Yes. I have the 1000,2000, and 4000 - they are all configured the same, just size difference. Best reel I own by far.

I think you turn the rear drag counter clock wise or just hold it and unscrew the spool several turns counter clockwise. The guy at Dick's sporting goods helped me when I purchased line for him to spool new line.

You can reel with either hand. The handle screws onto either side that you prefer. I have a 12' rod too, but the 4000 is a bit small for it. But yes it would work, though a 6000 or 7000 or 8000 hold more line.

No, the one I bought is right hand only. You might check to see if you can order the same reel but with a left hand presentation. If they don't, you might consider a spinning reel because most of them can convert to right or left hand use. Hope this helps!

This reel is what is commonly referred to as a Left handed reel!!! The reel is "handed" by which ever side the handle is on when in position on the rod It is becoming more and more popular with people who are Right handed, as are well over 95% of the country. for the ability to keep the rod in your master hand the entire time you are fishing, and not have to cast, then change hands to reel, , then change hands to cast again!!! people have becum used to cranking with their left hand because of the popularity of open-faced spinning reels, which basically all come with the handle on the left side, thou the great majority, if not all, have the ability to easily change the handle from one side to the other!!! Best of luck, and Make sure you leave a few for me!!! Regards, Jim

It comes with right hand retrieve. To change to left hand retrieve, remove the spool from the reel. Remove the one way bearing retaining clip (from the opposite side of the spool from the cap with the two screws). Remove the one way bearing from the spool. Turn the one way bearing over and reassemble the spool. Just be careful with the retaining clip. Presto, now you have a left hand retrieve reel.

A common question... For a spinning setup, "right handed" means you cast with the right but reel with the left, but on a baitcasting/overhead reel (like this one), "right handed" means you cast with the left and reel with the right, so.... if you must reel with the left, you need the left handed reel.
