I owned one of those years ago. Seems like it was something real simple, reverse the line and flip the drag arm from one side to the other. I gave mine to my son and his ex wife sold it in a yard sale. Cortland Line is a sponsor but you said their web page is down. A few of other sponsors on here probably sells Cortland products. I know Hook and Hackle does. Maybe you can shoot them an email or give them a call. hookhack.com or go to sponsor page from the FAOL home page, click on Hook $ Hackle and it'll give you the 800 number and a direct email link to Ron. Hope this helps. Jim
