I hope I titled this right. I am left handed, cast with my left hand and reel with my right. I was raised on a Zebco spincaster and never taught to use anything else. I can't cast with my right arm for squat. I like using a spinning reel but have a hard time catching the line off the spool with my left hand because of the way it comes off the spool. Anybody else have this problem? Are there any reels to solve this problem?

Simple solution , teach your self to cast with your right hand. It won't be easy at first but the longer you do this the more natural it will become.
How do I know this ? I'm left handed.

Same here! Easiest to just cast righty, however, I do cast with my left sometimes though... you will have to learn to control the line with your pointer finger by spool pressure.
