Default Re: baitcasters

I'm a righty, but I go with the left hand retrieve on my baitcasters. When i got my first baitcaster, i found my self casting with my right arm, then having to switch the rod to my left arm for the right hand retrieve. I brought the reel (Curado) back to Davis the next day and the let me exchange it for a lefty retrieve. It felt way more natural for me.

Weird thing is, all my salt water chunking/trolling/fluking stuff are right hand hand retrieves. I guess for casting lefty is better for me, but for dropping, it probably doesn't make a difference.
