[QUOTE="Bfishn, post: 350920, member: 2006"] Casting with your right hand, then having to change rod hands to also reel with your right hand has always seemed counterintuitive to me. All of my casting rods whether spinning or bait cast are left hand reel. For cranking/trolling it doesn't really matter although I still prefer left hand for those as well. In a tiller it can be handy to have right hand cranking out the right side of the boat and left hand cranking out the left side so the reel handle is always facing back toward you for an easier reach.
