Title: Ocean City 112 LEFTY !!
Post by: Wompus Cat on June 01, 2021, 08:47:57 AM

Here is a Reel Rod Combo that oldmanjoe found on e-bay and gave me the link as I was looking for some rods that would fit some of the Rod handles I had .
The reel looked to us that it was on the Rod bckwards and we kidded around about it .I bid @ 8 bux on it and to my surprise was the only bid and won it .
After getting it in my hands I immediately noticed that it was a Left Hand Retreive version of the 112 models with the  late style Free Spool lever rather than the Pull out style that would retract hen you spun the Handle around to wind in the line.

Here are some before pics.

The only thing different in the integrals I can find is the direction of the AR teeth on the sleeve so that it won't allow the Crank to turn the Regular direction .
I have some Early Penn's 113 's and Squidders that are Left handed and besides the sleeve dog array the Sleeve is Left hand Threaded  and the gears are machined in a Left Hand slant as well .
The Left Hand 113H I have does not have the Left Hand Threaded Sleeve .
