Depends on what reel it is. What did you get?

what kind of reel do you have? You should be able to find directions online for switching the retrieve. It's pretty simple.

my reel has a clip, you take the clip out, and flip the bearing, then put the clip back on...your reel may be different though

If there's any way to do so, take a high quality image of the reel's innards and post it. If its' all blurry we won't be able to advise.

Bring it in. We'll swap the drag over and unload/reload the line back on to the spool so right hand retreive will work. The best part is NO CHARGE....
