I cast with my right,crank left have no problems. Don't see that there will be any problems for you.

You can take off the handle and move it to the other side so lefties and righties can use the same reel. It's a great reel; one of my favorites.

As usually all the other reels, you can mount the handle on either side. Usually you have to unsrew the handle from the other side, pull the handle out, and mount it on the other side, screw the screw back in. Not a complicated process, doesn't require tools, takes less then 20 seconds.

Right. You hold rod with your dominant right hand and crank with your left. But if it's the same ugly stick combo I have the crank reel handle collapses and is not easy to useL

Unless it specifically says ask for either left-hand or right-hand than they are universal. The one that I ordered was universal.

I'm left hand, and it works fine, but you can not turn it around, so you would need to buy the right reel for you. Plus, the reel it comes with is junk, so I would get a better one.

The one I purchased was right-handed. Also, it's a little too hard for my 6 year old son to pull back, so be sure the child is able to pull back every bit of 18 lbs of pressure!

Yes, we have the crank style too and it works just fine. I bought 2 of them.

The crank is on the right hand side, for left handed models the number is followed with dlx

Yes, you should get the left crank arm. I purchased this crankset and got the left arm. See: http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/EV/bikecomponents/FC/EV-FC-M311-8-2759A_v1_m56577569830637964.pdf

You can use either hand. It does not matter you can select left or right handed

the ones we purchased were right handed but i dont remember the option to select rh or lh, if there is no option to select and they do not specify lh they will be rh

Well when I ordered this a while back I ordered a left but I can not remember if I has the option of choosing. Either way I have a left side one. I'm sorry if this did not help. Cat

I believe in the description, the orientation is for the throwing hand. So if you throw with your left, then order left hand orientation. It is confusing.

It twist either way and in fact being right handed I grab the handles with my dominate hand and have always turned it with my left. Short answer YES.

I bought what I thought was a right and a left turned up so I returned it and bought a left. it fitted the right fine. Check pic against your old one carefully. Martin,

Also, it is specific for if you draw right handed or left handed, so make sure you get the proper side too!!!

You can keep searching the web site for the side that you want. I found that they were not all in one place. I have just tried mine on the other foot, and it seemed fine. There is no apparent curve in the structure that would indicate right or left, perhaps it is in the inside bladder for the "air cast"portion. If you cannot locate the correct side, perhaps a call to customer service or easier....take the plunge and order one. It can be returned, but don't try it on with the dog around!
