Right handed baitcasters??

Featured Replies

I just started using baitcastera a couple years ago.  I remember when I was looking around for what to buy, almost all of the baitcast reel were right handed. Just wondering if anyone knows why this is? I ended up buying a BPS Johnny Morris in left handed model and i love it. I feel like I have a lot more hook setting power with my right arm.  

Good question!  My spinning reels are left hand retrieve and my baitcasters are all right hand.

I here ya.  Long ago in a time I will not mention, I could not find a quality LH baitcaster.  Now there are lots of them as the reel manufacturers finally got smart.

I'm so comfortable with r/hand retrieve on my baitcaster, I don't think I could go left?

I'm sure you could. The thing I just learned is it's too hard for me to switch from lefty to righty during the same outing.
