Im looking to find only catalog of Daiwa Spinning Reels.

   The 8700 is the largest...I learned the hard way.

If there are any Aussies out there reading this, there are two very nice 8300A reels on very nice 2 piece rods 6.5 ft long for sale on GUMTREE Australia for $!00.
The man said he would sell them separately.
I would buy one combo if they were not left hand wind only. I prefer to wind any reel with my right hand.Yes, this has prevented me from missing out on many great older spin reels that are not ambidextrous.
Thank heavens the DAM QUICK 001 series and the ABU Cardinal green series are ambidextrous.

I don't think the green series ABU Cardinal's are ambidextrous, Greg —

But you are right on the DAM Quicks — with a few exceptions — most will easily switch from left hand to right hand.

Hope someone on here gets those 8300's!

Hi Fred
My Cardinal 5 is made in Japan. It is an ABU GARCIA. On the plastic bung that screws onto the side you don't want the handle,
it says HANDLE CONVERTABLE
cheers

The Japanese made ABU/Garcia fulcrum brake mostly Black C & Greenline and Green & Cream Special Cardinals are ambidextrous. The Swedish made ABU/Zebco Green & Cream & Brown & Tan and ABU Green & Cream & Tan & Black fulcrum brakes are not.

I bought another 7850HRL. This one is brown and in nice condition and is ambidextrous. I don't know why Daiwa did not continue the anti reverse system on
this reel. In my opinion it is better than the system on the 8000 series.
The drag on the 7850HRL is not much, but I have plans for that.

Right, Greg —

I thought you meant the green Cardinals that were Swedish Manufactured.
