I always grew up reeling spinning setups with my left, which is standard i believe. And then I'm supposed to switch? Nuh uh lol.

I would rather cast right handed, keep the rod in that arm and reel with left. Plus, i'm used to fighting the fish with the right arm. I feel super lame when reeling in right handed lol.

I have a few RH reels while on my old boats for my friends while sturgeon fishing. When I would grab the rod and set the hook, it always was so weird. Like throwing a baseball lefthanded, when you're right handed lol
Chris said yea it is weird and wants some lefties. That kid used bass reels since he was 7 and never said anything about it. He said he just saw a LH reel for sale the other day and didn't know they made them and wants to change his out.

I'm a rightie freshwater fisherman who reels a spinning reel with my left hand and a baitcaster with my right. Isn't that pretty much standard?

BTW, I used to loved Abus in baitcasters but fish Pflueger reels now.
same here. we grew up with baitcasters as thats what dad, his brother, & grandfather all had and used at the farm. I started using spinners later myself and fish the same way you do Smidge.

Yup, totally "standard" but not to me :-D

I wasn't trying to say all abus are pieces of shit btw. I own many of them. Come up this way for some salmon, you'll see. I prefer curados. They feel so much better, more streamline. All my better setups are curados with different drags in them. Power handle on all my salmon setups.

I have an avet reel on my better ocean/sturgeon setup, on a seeker rod, but have many of penn 320/1's on tiger rods also.

Cant wait for salmon season :hump:

I used to use the Garcia 500 with the level wind taken off for calico bass fishing with anchovies with 12 lb test on a 10 footer . Nice combo

Curado 201 on my bass setup, which I take off and put on my steelhead rod for the steelies. Curado 301 on my favorite salmon slammin shore setup. The power handle alone for it was like 80 bucks(only one balanced power handle being made). With either 50 or 65lb power pro on it, i will use nothing else these days. It just feels right:-) sort of like how the thought of Hillary as our new president feels right also.

That's some funny shit. A guy at work gave me this the other day. Told him I wasn't a lefty but he tossed it in my truck anyway.
