bait caster retrieve
Message:
if you are right handed, do you use your right hand to retrieve or do you use your left like a spinning reel?

Bass Addict, if you cast with your right hand and retrieve with your left hand turning the reel handle then you are using what is considered a "left handed reel". If you cast with your right hand and then switch your rod from your right to your left hand and retrieve with your right hand turning the reel handle then you are using a right handed reel. Hope this is clear for you. :D

Thanks skeeterjim
Ok, that is the way I have my bait caster set up. I cast with my right then switch the rod to my left and reel with my right. My buddy told me that i bought a left handed reel.
Why do they set it up that way (where you have to switch the rod from your right hand to your left and then reel with your right)? Has anyone right handed tried using a left handed reel so you do not have to switch hands after casting? As you can tell, i an new to bait casters.
