I was wondering if anyone could help me... ive just bought the sonik sk3 reel but when reeling the line back onto the spool i have to reel towards me (clockwise) instead of anti-clockwise! i have tried to change the drag but not sure on what im doing! any help would be appreciated!

Hi Chris and welcome to the forum, I have an SK3, it should be silent on retrieve, and a small audible click when pulling line off.
Do you have the instructions? it sounds like you have the drag set on RHW instead of LHW.
Read the instructions quite easy to alter, but if you can't sort it, PM me and I will talk you through it.
Steven.

Either turn the bearing over - very easy - or turn the cassette around...

To convert from right to left hand wind or vice versa, slacken large knurled drag nut on rear of reel which will allow removal of the pin inserted into the spindle. Take off the bearing (looks like a normal nut on base of spindle but it just lifts off), replace it the other way up, reinsert spindle and retighten drag. job done
