Is the reel reversible for right or left handed person?

No it does not seem to be able to do that, also it fades rather quickly in color............ I would keep it out of the sun.

Yes, it is reversible. I use this tool almost daily for a few years now. Everyone in the shop wants to borrow it.

The reel came set up for left handed casting thus right hand retrieving the fly line. Since I want to cast with my right hand and retrieve the fly line with my left hand, I removed the thumb nut on the reel and turn the bearing up side down for the left hand retrieve. So, it could be set up as either left hand or right hand fly line retrieve. Please note that - no instruction or parts list with the reel.

No it is right handed. You could of course reverse the strings but unfortunately the bridge is slotted for strings 1-6 in the right handed configuration. You would have to have a new bridge placed to accomodate the strings in the left handed configuration.

Not sure what you are asking, but I bought two myself and you can use them for left or right. I think they are mainly right handed but I use it for left as well

the reel cannot be turned over as there is a plate where the shaft is or the shaft opening is not the same on both sides. I mounted the yard butler where i turn with right hand and guide with left. I love my yard butler.

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.

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.

I believe you can just turn the reel around; however mine is a LEFT hand retrieve because that is the way I mounted the reel with the handle pointing toward the left. You have a great reel and should work perfect!

The handle is "configured" for one side and the brass hose hookup is opposite; BUT the saving grace is that the entire reel rotates 360 degrees, so once assembled, you can rotate and lock it into place on either side to suit your need. I have the handles locked into place on the right side and the reel holds 100 feet of hose for me snugly. No regrets so far.

The handle can be switched to either side to accommodate left or right hand reeling.

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.

The 400b comes in both right and left handed models. The "b," doesn't designate whether the reel is right or left handed. The b is just a reference for that particular Calcutta model. Right handed models are more popular. You'll know whether you're buying a right or left hand retrieve reel when reading the item description and going through check out.

Yes you can. I use right handed and my husband uses left handed. Great reels.

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.

Yes - me too - I'd like to order one with the reel on the left (so reeling with the left hand)
