Yeah, we lefties are a confusing lot because passing your rod (and reel) back and forth between your hands all day I guess could be fun. It just seems to me that while I'm in the boat I'd rather catch fish.

They're not on the wrong side, you're just holding the rod the wrong way up!

I'm glad they're not on the right side. I would have to convince my wife that $150 is cheap and I need it. Well, actually I would have bought it first, then did the convincing later.

Ohhhhhh....that's it. I'm holding it upside down. At least I'm holding the right end of the rod.....the fat end, right???

This is how I do it and it seems to work for me.

Confuses me too.

Why is that a right handed person casts with their right hand and then switches and holds the reel with their weaker left hand. I find that very odd.

With the new power handles even a toddler can turn the crank so even if a person has a completely weak left hand they should still crank with their left hand and hold the reel with their strong hand.......their right hand if they are right handed.

I bought one a while ago. I have been looking at getting a left handed reel and this was an oppotunity to get one at a good price. I use spinning reels for everything but musky/pike fishing so I am thinking it won't be that big of a deal. The plus will be quicker transfer from casting to reeling, being able to switch off during the day and I am thinking the transition from the figure 8 to casting will be smoother. I think most of us just used right handed reels because that is all that was out there when we first used a bait caster. Of course when I started the spool didn't disengage and you had to watch out for that spinning handle on a cast
