What model is this reel and why does the left handed model have two different pictures?

Brady, its difficult to tell without seeing both pics to see what you are talking about!!! The dbl handle and wide spool suggests its a 6001 ( the 1 being the left hand designation) from the normal right handed 6000...Without seeinf the difference you are talking about,,thats the best I can do...Sorry!! JimThis may also be a 6501, the 5 designates a "fast retrieve" ratio over the 000 models

The 17 pound 325 yd reel is the 7000i with the power handle. The reel with the double handle might be the 5500 or 6500 but is the wrong picture.

It is the 7000i. The LH model actually looks more like the RH model rather than that picture.

This is not the same design as the one I bought. I assume you are correct L-left and R-right.

Hello,This reel is available only in a right hand retrieve. Please feel free to let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Thanks,Brian @ ALFC

The retrieve on this combo is right-hand, meaning you have to reel with your right hand. Some people like casting right hand and retrieving left hand, or vice versa. If you want a retrieve that is both left and right, get the zebco 33 combo, it's a great setup, and about the same size. The retrieve has a screw on the left side so it can be changed.

That is the spinning reel pictured that I received (as pictured). You are right it should be listed as a spinning combo .

Spool is loaded for left -hand retrieve but bearing in reel can be reversed to right. Also requires unwinding entire spool to accomplish this.

The crank and the water connections can't be interchanged but, the unit can be rotated 180 degrees which puts the crank on the right side. The difference is that with crank on right the hose winds on top side of reel. while with crank on left the hose winds on the bottom side of reel. Mine is mounted with crank on right.

I had the same problem. I called the company and since the reel was less than a year old, they accepted my return and they sent me a new one. I did pay for the return shipping because the pick up that they arranged never happened. The new one has worked well so far.

It has a drag on the bottom. It actually way nice because you can hit it with your thumb while you are reeling. It is all on bottom of the reel

Steve..that is a personal preference for you to decide....I am right handed..but I prefer a left-handed real....I do not like to change hands between casting and reeling..I often fish top-water lures, and many times will get a strike as soon as the bait hits the water....just when you are changing hands with a RH reel!!! Also, the rod should be in your Master hand (RT) so you can better react to the fishes fight.....Your left hand can easily master the cranking of the reel, and it is just MY preference!!! If you can borrow a rt and lt handed reel and try them both out and see which you prefer!!! I have shown many of my friends, family, etc....the Left-handed idea, and 90% of them have converted to the LH crank!!! Their popularity can be seen by the huge increase of LH models available now!!!! BUT!!! Again..ITs YOUR decision to make!!! Good Luck....and be sure to leave a few for me!!! Jim

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.

Most likely from Daiwa. I took mine in, and the shop mentioned replacing the felt drags. They can order them from manufacturers. Companies that make aftermarket drags usually make them for multiple brands and reels. "Smooth drag" etc. You should be able to google them.

The hinge consists of a pin that fits into a hole. This is so you can remove the reel simply by pulling up on it. So one of the images is upside down. Another image is correct and the third image is of an older model in which the hinge and the handle are located on the left. Makes me wonder if this is the newer model they are selling.

Best to go to Okuma website for details. There are different sizes and line capacities which is very important for the type of fishing and balance to rod. The reels are excellent. Also by viewing the website you can compare and also there may be new ones introduced. The Coldwater model I have is the DLX is left hand.

I bought the "Right" hand reel because I'm right handed...I assume that is what it means.

Cold water reels;CW303DLX are left handed. Okuma does have a site and all sizes are listed.Unless you're fishing salt water the 300 series holds a lot of line for any fresh water fishing.CamS

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.
