Remove the locking clip and then the bushing. Flip the bushing over (they are usually reversible) and reassemble. That might work to convert to lefty.
That worked perfectly! Thanks for the advice.
I believe it still might be a bit small for a 2WT setup but may hold onto it for only a $11 investment. Perhaps some day I will build a 1WT rod to play with.
Try this, get a double taper line and cut it in 2 pcs. 45' of line should fit on that reel. You don't need 90' fly line on small streams. I have a Teton reel that is 2.75 diameter and it works great on my 7’ 3 wt glass rod.
