z115491 Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I just started using baitcastera a couple years ago. I remember when I was looking around for what to buy, almost all of the baitcast reel were right handed. Just wondering if anyone knows why this is? I ended up buying a BPS Johnny Morris in left handed model and i love it. I feel like I have a lot more hook setting power with my right arm. Quote
Bassboy15 Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Just because most people prefer the right handed one over left. Quote
HookMaster Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Good question! My spinning reels are left hand retrieve and my baitcasters are all right hand. Quote
Brad_Coovert Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I here ya. Long ago in a time I will not mention, I could not find a quality LH baitcaster. Now there are lots of them as the reel manufacturers finally got smart. Brad Quote
HookMaster Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I'm so comfortable with r/hand retrieve on my baitcaster, I don't think I could go left? Quote
