Thanks for the info brah, but it looks like my spincast isn't a R/L after all. Oh well it's working fine with casting right handed, switching to left, and reeling with right. I like the change anyway.
*OKAY GUYS, I went to the lake today with my braid-loaded spincast. I was casting a relatively light spinbait, and then a creature-bait. A minnow style, trout colored lifelike swim bait. Both were productive, and I caught 2 5lb LM Bass. Reel held up great through everything; no hang ups, no pin failure, no reel catching fire (lol). I got home and examined the pin and there is absolutely ZERO wear so far. Line is holding up good as well. I'm VERY happy, and glad I decided to use this rather than toss it out or sell it. It still casts beautifully, even with light baits/lures, and it retrieves very smoothly. Only bad part of the day was, the bass that hit the swim bait swallowed it, and died despite my efforts to cleanly remove the hook. I decided to keep it, since it was of legal bag size, and was not a female. I'll eat it, so its death wasn't in vain.
Im sentimental like that.
