Left handed or right handed baitcaster for true-running crankbaits?

In order for you to calculate this correctly, you must also compensate for the effects of wind/wave/current influences, water temperature effects on lure resistance due to changes in density,  vector and velocity of boat movement (are you trolling, coasting, or completely still?), and equatorial proximity. Are your crankbaits skewed to the opposite side if you're fishing in the Southern hemisphere?

I think you're on to something here...I just ordered an Australian toilet (The water swirls the opposite direction!) on Amazon to test the effect of the reverse Coralis effect on my southern hemisphere crankbaits...with Prime it should be here Monday!

I'm having a heated wave pool installed out back and there's a john boat on the way to check the rest of your ideas.  I'll need something to do once the lakes freeze, that should do it.  I'm considering building a dome to control temp. and humidity...but am still looking for a way to create artificial wind.

Depends upon whether you're fishing for right-handed or left-handed bass...

If they ever grow hands...we're all dead...

It's the Coriolis effect.  You're experiencing a phenomenon known as acute geomagnetic reversal that is contained within a 50 yard radius of your person.  Quick, go check which way your toilet flushes your Scotch-vomit, clockwise or counterclockwise.  If it's counterclockwise you have to reel backwards to get your crank to run straight.

nope, it's all in the transmission. this guy will give you the true idea.

What kind of heathen vomits Scotch?  One grits one's teeth, thinks of Scotland and holds it down...but you may be right on the rest of it.

I'll send a couple baitcasters to be modified to reel backwards.  Shouldn't cost mare than a few hundred dollars and maybe I'll have true-running crank-baits!

That's the guy I need!

Can I hire him?  Or is he dead?  He doesn't look healthy.

Don't forget to take into account the gravitational forces exerted by Mars on your line

I rensent the implication that it ever had one!

[adrenalizd]

I don't think anyone is taking into consideration the way the graphite of the rod is spun.  You have to get a reel that is opposite to the spin of the graphite to balance them out.

Great thinking!

I just called  in a special order to St. Croix for 32 counter-wrapped rods to replace my 4 crankbait rods and 7 backups for each one.

Maybe someday we will be blessed with reversible handled bait casters... just like the spinning reels....

[S. Sass]

Ok I have one or two solutions and at least one should correct the issue.

1. You need a V8 drink.

2. You need to or have stayed at a Holiday inn.

Can you imagine the bruised/broken knuckles?

I don't think a bass would break much...but a pike pike, musky or a steelehead?

OW!

That'll work out - I can stay at a Holiday in while they build the wave pool.

OK, I think I might be on to something...in another topic here, Daiwa J braid is discussed...I looked at it and said, "Hey!  The 'hook' on the J goes to the left and I reel with my right hand...those two things might offset each other...

So...I quickly jumped on the internet and ordered some Daiwa J braid in 40 pound from a company on the other side of the international date line for next day delivery.  Should be here tomorrow (or yesterday, I get confused about this).

If it doesn't work, or makes the problem worse, I'll try putting it on backwards...but I am worried about the line causing backlashes if the "hook" is at the top.

[Further North]

OK...so the J Braid arrived the day before yesterday...which was yesterday, today.  I think.  It might have been tomorrow, yesterday.

Tried it...I think the Glenmorangie was making me tilt to far to the wrong side, and Australian Toilet on the stern kept on pushing the transom down too low so the waves generated by the wave pool were swamping my bilge...

At the end of the day..."swamping my bilge" seems like an entirely appropriate way to end this...

In the words of a guy named Joe: "I'd like to remind you I'm running for president. I appreciate your vote. And here is an industrial love song."

Two Further North Bonus points for the first person to ID the correct Joe, no googling allowed.

Walsh.

You forgot to adjust all your math for thermals above sea level during a leap year that ends in an integer that cannot easily be cubit.  Also, remember it's fall, and there is a slight adjustment for thrust generated by migratory water fowl.

Forget that, just get the one with more ball bearings.

[J Francho]

One could successfully argue that thrust generated by migratory waterfowl is not weather.

I'll start a survey.

[S. Sass]

You guys have all left out the fact that a 7'  7/8"  heavy rod with 1/2 a parabolic action and a extra extra extra fast tip will correct any distortion from the earths rotational counter forces of reeling from the wrong side. You can always fine adjust the results by adding or removing 1/64" in rod length.

Your theory violates Newton's third law.  Peer review!!!!

In the slim chance Newton disagrees the cure would simply buy another rod It is truly the cure to all fishing issues lets add another 1"!

Wait spider senses say the BASS Gods have spoken and everyone will need 8' to 10ft rods in the very near future to be successful. This has opened up roughly 24 new one inch incremental rod sizes for the industry to correct distortion from the earths rotational counter forces of reeling from the wrong side. Surely we will cure this issue now.

Short, whippy rods are currently in vogue in Japan.  I foresee a bass nation divided.

Bring back steel rods!

Wait, the magnetic draw from forces such as the earth's poles will make us have to recalculate!
