That day, he had quite the attitude because I wouldn't give it back to him. Weeks later, I'd bought all left handed Curados and Team Daiwa reels.
Haven't looked back since. It's just so much faster when firing off hundreds of casts in a day. Plus when you're casting into water with weed growth just below the surface, that extra delay can give your reaction bait just enough time to sink into the weeds and foul your hooks.
Plus, sometimes you'll get hit the second your bait hits the water. Nowadays on the infrequent occasion when I use one of my right-hand reels, it feels clunky and wrong. Count me among the converted. Re: Right or Left Handed Baitcaster Post by elfish16 » Mon Oct 05, pm I used to cast right handed and switch the rod over each cast but as I've evolved as an angler I have taught myself to cast lefty and keep my retrieve with the right hand.

Jump to. However, if you use a spinning reel, it first moves directly away from the rod before turning at the bail to follow the line of the rod.
However, when it comes to using a baitcasting reel, some experience is necessary. Newer anglers should use a spinning reel instead of a baitcaster. It will take some time and effort to master this reel. With a baitcasting reel, you can aim for a spot and hit it perfectly every time. However, to do so, you will need lots of practice. You can also quickly stop the baitcaster if you make a bad cast and reel it back in before you have any problems.
The maintenance level is an essential factor. All you need to do to maintain a reel is to disassemble it and clean it with a suitable solution. However, baitcasting reels are more structurally complex than other reels like spinning reels.
It will take a little longer to disassemble and reassemble a baitcaster. Price is a huge factor when purchasing a fishing reel. Generally, spinning reels are far more affordable than baitcasting reels. If you want to make a long-term investment, you should consider purchasing a baitcasting reel.
Durability is an essential factor to consider when purchasing a fishing reel. They have a more complex construction, making them sturdier and more durable. Anyone who has spent a substantial amount of time fishing has experienced their fishing line getting tangled or jammed. Your reel getting tangled has the potential to ruin your entire day out. This is especially true for beginners.
As a result, you should choose a reel that has a lower risk of tangling and jamming. There is no fishing reel available that will never jam. Regardless of handedness, the process is the same to fix a jammed baitcasting reel. The steps to fix a jammed baitcasting reel are as follows:. Other essential features to consider include the line capacity of the reel.
Baitcasters usually have a bigger line capacity than spinning reels. Additionally, you should consider the casting distance of the reel before purchasing. Finally, you should consider the gear ratio of the reel you purchase.
Typically, baitcasting reels have a bigger range of ratios than other options. However, I will admit that you probably won't learn as quickly as a teenager would. More than likely you will never be as good as you would have been if you had started 50 years ago. You no doubt are smarter than any 16 year old, but if anything like me, the mind and muscle memory ain't what it used to be when it comes to learning new stuff.
Well then, maybe I'll get a LH at some point. You're probably right, it shouldn't be that difficult. Prob would be good idea for flipping -- but I might freak out the first time I have a pig on and my hands are switched.

Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options Super User. WRB Posted December 20, If the reel handle is on the right side, it's right handed. In baseball, there's often an advantage to throwing with one hand or the other. Second basemen, third basemen, shortstops and catchers are almost exclusively right-handed. First basemen are often left-handed, and a left-handed pitcher who can find the strike zone will always have a place on the roster.
Studies have shown that 90 percent of all people are right-handed and an even higher percentage of baitcasting reels are right-handed models, but you won't find any of them in Patrick Pierce's Triton.
The Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Opens pro uses all left-handed models, even though he is naturally right-handed. Why not do the same with casting gear?
