[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 350988, member: 816"] other than a couple of really young years with zebco push buttons, i grew up with a spinning rod and reel in my hand. cast right, hold rod right, even had those spinning reels with that little bail opener thingy to open the bail with my right hand index finger. rod never left the right hand. the only time the left hand touches it is to reel. seems efficient to me. i can't imagine casting with my left hand. so, if i had a right handed reel, there would definitely need to be some switching of the rod from the right hand to the left hand after i casted with the right hand in order to then reel with the right hand as well. i can only assume that's most are set up that way. at this point in life, when i end up in a guides boat with bait casting trolling rods, i feel like an uncoordinated idiot when i have to reel with my right hand and control the rod with my left. last time i was in the guides boat i says, "sure would be nice to have a left hand reeling spinning rod for as to run this bottom bouncer." he reaches down in the rod locker and says, "here ya go, joe". totally made my day.
