Red Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 i hate that too..both my baitcasters are left hand retrieve...search around and you can find them...i know abu garcia makes left hand models as well as pinnacle....and i am sure there are other, but these are the ones i have Quote
BigBen09 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Posted May 2, 2007 ok thanks for the help anyone else right handed? if so what do u use? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 2, 2007 Super User Posted May 2, 2007 Most people are right handed. Most manufactures offer models of their reels with handles on the left if that's your preference. I fish baitcasting reels with right-hand retrieve, it's no big deal. I was born with two hands and I use them both. Quote
I stink at fishing Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I use a diawa zillion with a left hand retrieve . I think most of the diawas and shimanos you can get in left or right hand retrieve. Quote
lubina Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 i think i would like mine to be left hand retriever. my ? is what do u guys that are right handed uses. Yeap you are correct...that is the right way anyway.... ;D Most manufacturer offer some of their models in lefty but I'm still waiting for a Revo 7.1:1 like that. Quote
Ballistik Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Reel selection is limited to Lefties yes. But its all about comfort and YOUR preference. I wish I could reel with my left hand but its just uncomfortable for me. But if you like do it. You have to fish that way no one else. Quote

RockvilleMDAngler Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I bought one RH baitcaster and hated it. I have 5 left handed baitcasters now and they are all I use. I have a Daiwa TDZ 105, a Shimano Chronarch 101, a Shimano Curado 201BSF, a Shimano Curado 101D, and a Shimano Curado 201D. Using you left hand to reel means you are ready for the bite the moment the lure hits the water. Quote
awjweb Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I to am a righty who uses a left handed baitcaster (abu c4). I started out long ago with spinning reels so I am very comfortable cranking with my left hand. When I wanted a baitcaster a friend recommended purchasing and learning with a lefty reel so that it would be natural from the very beginning not to have to switch hands with the rod. Quote
