Also, even if you find an earlier reel you like, you can get a reversible ratchet plate from One Pfoot. the rods are never obsolete - the marketing is.

I was fishing with Bud the other day and he had an old pflueger with the round line guide and I didn't know if they all during that era had that option. On the Youngs you convert to LH makes me wonder why they and other manufactures of that time didn't make that option available. Alot of fly fishers then did fish with spin reels that were LH and then they would have to convert their reeling hand when flyfishing. I know you fish RH but I still can't go that way. Thanx...............Ray...................
