Why are Baitcasting reels designed to be held and casted with the right hand and then switched over to the left hand to reel the line in with the right hand?[confused]
 
Drives me nuts[wallmad]. Everyone learns with a spinning reel reeling with tbeir left hand but then they put the handle on the other side on conventionals[wallmad]. Im limited as to what reels i can use because i reel lefty, it sucks. I use both but prefer lefty, its more natural.[down]
 
I asked a shimano rep at a show why they dont make leftys over a size 400 and he said there was no demand? I looked at him like he was nuts and i walked away.[wallmad]
 
You can find many bait cast models in left hand. Just got to look for them, I have 3 shimano cardiffs and curados in left hand as well as quantum pt's
 
Finally, I consider it revenge! Everytime I pick up a new rod or borrow one; the handle is on the wrong side! I'm right handed, but for some reason I learned to fish left handed. My brother is left handed, but fishes right handed. It just whatever's comfortable I guess![smirk]
