  • Right handed people should be using a left handed reels, makes to sense switching hands after the cast to hold your rod in your right. Whilst if you have a left handed reel your rod constantly stays in your left hand, feels more natural.

  • "just like playing golf" - but I don't play golf!?

  • You should be able to use your baitcaster without switching hands. That's inefficient. It wastes time and energy. Think of all the energy you use when you have to switch hands EVERY time you cast, if you're out on the water for a day. In one day, you might make 500 casts. So switch hands 500 times, after 500 casts. Loooots of wasted energy. That's why I think it's important to be able to manipulate the baitcaster without switching hands.

  • thnx so much info so much help

  • @jumar1281 just get a reel with left hand retrieve and hold your rod with your right hand

    

  • To get a nasty birds nest on your spool, and sometimes it could be very hard to get rid of. There are tips to get rid of them easily, which you can find on YouTube too.

  • Whats the meaning of a backlash?

  • @MBMOH

    my issue is that i want my strong hand (right hand) to be able to have a firm grip on the rod, and let my weaker hand control the reel. i guess it feels more comfortable that way because I've been fishing spinning reels my whole life. I guess its just a matter of getting used to the new feeling

  • I've been trying to use one of these for weeks now, the only thing I have learned that is not mentioned here is the bait has to be heavy, not the light tackle I was using with my other rods.

  • @mennie82 but u want a right handed reel for more power

  • at times making a big splash attracts fish, but other times you will scare fish away doing so.
