I had to word the title very carefully!  It's a family site  .

What RW posted (George Welcome's words) also make sense.   I've baitcast so long that cranking one with my left hand seems bizarre.  So I'm pretty intent on staying on the traditional course.

But I can make more precise movements with my right hand.  I think jerking a bait requires that quick, snappy movement that always seems mushy with my left hand.  Look at how a jerkbait reacts in the water when you snap it, and when you just accelerate it.  

Doesn't matter what hand I use, but my JB rod has a RH retrieve baitcaster on it.

Being a lefty I always felt more comfortable with my dominant hand doing the heavy lifting. A rh baitcaster only made sense. Conversly, I use to fish my spinny stuff lh. I did make the change on my spinnys to rh and it was an easy adjustment. Maybe us leftys are more adaptible that way!!  Not saying you rightys can't do it, just might take a bit longer!!

Being a musician (bassist, hence my posting name), I'm acustomed to being ambidextrous.I use right and left hand baitcast, letf hand retrieve spinning, and right and left hand spincast. I can switch between them without any appreciable difference. Probably has to do with playing music all my life ( bass, guitar, Piano, organ).     Happy fishing.
