[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 350914, member: 324"] Age old debate. I cast the rod with my right hand, then transfer it to my left hand, and crank with my right. I learned how to fish with a closed-face reel. To me, it should be illegal to have the handle on the other side. That, and nearly all baitcaster reels have the handle on the right. Sunday night I was fishing the tailrace, east side. Caught my line in the bail-roller, at the end of a cast. When I pulled the line out of the bail-roller, the line broke. I had to retrieve, like a neanderthal, hand over hand. midway through getting my crank back, disaster (catfish) struck. It was a regular rodeo. [/QUOTE]
