Would have been easier to use any other reel with schematics. At any rate I have sold several of those POS reels. As others have stated you can improve the internal components ( replace bearings to bocca orange seal etc.) But as most people know these cheap handles tend to wiggle free and come off if you reel backwards. I think it would be cool to have a quick release system to switch the handle over especially on cheap reels that would be used by multiple children. Some reels have cheesy bail flippers ( http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-IX-1000-Rear-Drag/dp/B0000C0533/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_i) maybe you could design one that is done by depressing the reel seat.
