I was initially excited to receive this reel as a birthday present. However, upon removing the Orra S from its package, I encountered the same grinding noise when I turned the crank that others have mentioned in their reviews. In addition, upon placing the reel in the reel seat of my ugly stik lite, the piece connecting the reel to the reel seat broke in half. I never even had a chance to bring it to the water. Save yourself some stress (not to mention the $79.99 it cost) and purchase another reel. I recommend the Penn Fierce or Abu Garcia Cardinal. The Cardinal is the same high quality expected of Abu Garcia, and has a much smaller price tag to boot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had no problems last season (2012) with this reel. I expect to be using it a long time due to its robust parts. Perhaps the negative commentors should try reel oil and a reel cover and not leaving it in the pickup truck.
I would recommend this to a friend!

On the other side (opposite of the handle) there is a knob that you turn to unscrew the handle. Unscrew it all the way and you should be able to pull the handle out. Insert the handle into the opposite side and screw back on the cap/knob. Takes 30 seconds... good luck!

hold the spool and real backwards, the cap on the other side is removable.
