Baitcasters

[Robert79]

spinning set ups I hold rod with my right hand
baitcasting I with my right but cast with my left
its what ever feels comfortable. also casting is all muscle memory you can train yourself to use either.
I taught myself to flip and pitch with my right hand just so I don't have to switch my rod from one hand to the other

Hi -

My first post here in Big Water's Edge!

Born with a deformed left hand I've always had the reel crank on the left and hold the rod with my right - this works for "me". Whether that's "lefty"or "righty" fishing I don't actually know (HA!) but it works. I cast, get a take, stick fish, good fight, FUN! That's what "you" need to do too...go with what "works" for you! Simple enough!

Im right handed but prefer the reel on the left and find it easier to cast with my right. Instead of switching hands every time. Also i earned to fish on a spinning setup with the reel on the left.

I'm all messed up. Eat and write left handed. Draw and Paint with both hands. Throw a ball and shoot guns right handed. Spinning reels; hold with right, wind with left. Baitcasters and conventional; hold with left, wind with right. I cast with either hand (prefer right though), flip with left only.

I can use chopsticks with both hands and cast baitcasters, conventionals, and spinning reels with both as well. Being ambidextrous comes in handy especially if your arms are sore after a long day's fishin'!
