Have any of you guys tried to switch these reels from left hand retrieve to right. I don't mean just turn it around because then you are winding backward. I would like to turn it to right and be able to reel forward. Thanks Bo

I would also like to know how to do this. So Bumpity Bump Bump
When they first came out it was said that they were switchable but it was found out that because of the design you cannot reverse it. You were suppose to reverse the one way bearing but something about the way it's made, the bearing cannot be put in but one way.

Wally said on a youtube video that it can be done by turning the bearing over. Did it on a Frabill reel looks just like the Solo. Maybe check out Frabill youtube video would think it's about the same. Sounds like your getting ready for wade fishing Bo.
My brain is turning.
I have done a couple. There was a couple of videos on YouTube on how to do it but they were pulled for some reason.you just pull out the one way bearing and turn it end over and it works fine.

Different reel but basically same part change. On the solo there is a small clip that you have to remove and be careful cause it will isapper quick.
Here is one more like the solo.
