as fishermen know right handers use left winders. you cast with your right and change hands. this is always changing hands where you could miss a strike. he's a pro and doing it right.

@gibbygoo maybe he used a spinner reel as a kid and reeling with his left hand is like writing with his right.

just like its been learne to me by my local shop ^^

[gibbygoo]

As a right handed person, why are you using a left handed reel?

@gnomehater63 You're probably whipping your rod too hard like a Spinning reel. I know, I came from that world too. When you cast your baitcasting reel/rod, it should be a natural flow. If you're not getting the distance from the cast then it's your reel/rod. Try spending at least $300 for combo and you'll see a significant difference. Here's a big tip. Throw your farthest cast and pull out 15-20feet. Put a piece of tape inside. This will prevent more backlash and digs.

I used to have it set somewhat tight but now I can loosen it up however loose I want it without any backlashes.. I can't tell you the last time I backlashed!

@gnomehater63 Put your thumb on the spool before it hits the water or maybe just let your thumb barley touch the spool when casting.

i like how you just kissed the water with the tail on your hook.
