As I posted before I am right handed and use left handed baitcast reels. I also found that at the end of the season/year sometimes you can get some really great deals on left handed reels in sales! They seem to make more of them than they can sell and some nice reels can be gotten at a discount! I once bought 3 ABU Garcia Ambassaduer's that way for about 2/3 or less of the regular price.

I am right handed and use left handed bait cast reels. I did not start out that way but my late Uncle John who was a great surface lure fisherman for years convinced me that this was the thing to do. He told me that when you are laying a lure up close to the bank or any structure you had better be ready for a strike and not be changing hands. He fished almost every day at Lake Norfork for about 20 years, handmade his own surface lures and had calendars marked daily where he recorded his catch. I looked thru these calendars and was convinced that whatever Uncle John said was the thing to do. I believe he caught thousands of bass on these lures......and he was right handed and used left handed reels!
