I bought a new Medalist 1594 Reel and started putting backing on it, and I think that it is put together incorrectly. It is set for left hand retreave, but the frame and line guard are set for right hand retreave.

Did I forget which way you turn the spool to retreave? Or is it posible that it was assembled incorrectly in the shop? Or did I get a real that someone had already had out of the box and messed with?

I don't see any evidence that it has been taken apart, but then how much evidence would there be?

Moving the posts is no big deal but I would feel awefully dumb if I did and it turned out they were in the right place all along and I had been trying to real the line in the wrong way...
