I have always been comfortable reeling with my right or left hand but all of My conventional reels are right handed and my spinning gear is left handed. Whether you reel right or left handed, it is your opposite arm that does all the work. A couple weeks ago I hooked up with a bigger fish with my spinner. I don't remember what it was. Probably a T or WSB but half way through the fight my right arm was cramping because it wasn't used to that pulling and pumping activity. (jeez that sentence sounds dirty) Anyway, my spinner is now switched over to a right hand retrieve.
