Right Hand Left Hand Winding

[pisces_australis]

i,m right handed and wind with my right, how ever it seems that most japanese are left handed as most of them i see on dvd clips youtube and others the majority wind left handed.



i know its whats most natural to do for each person, being right handed i,m wanting to know if i should be winding left handed ???

and useing my dominant arm jigging ????

I'm a lefty but grew up with alvey reels and the such and was always told they were right handed reels because you wind with your right hand....got me stuffed???....now the say it's the hand you hold your rod with???....I give up???? hahahahahaha

personaly I think it's what ever you feel works for you better.

i have tried to learn to wind left handed but i just cant control the rod as good with my right hand... just can't do it. every now and again i will swap for the day but i feel retarded.

I'm right handed and with most types of fishing I wind with my right but when it comes to eging I wind with my left. Or rather, I hold the reel handle with my left and my right seems to jerk the rod around the handle... Anyway, I find my right wrist is better at flicking the rod

I am the same. I am right handed and or any type of fishing i wind in with my right hand. when squid fishing i wind with my left had and jig the squid jig with my right. i find i have much better control over the rod with my right hand. it took a while to get usd to but now it feels normal..

Depends on which setup i go...



Baitcaster, i wind with the right hand, cast with right arm.



Spinning sets, i wind with the left hand, cast with the right arm.

[PSF]

I can do both, but I find im more confident casting with my right hand, more than my left. Personally I like RH winding as well, just because I have a little bit more control on fine touches.

When i get the new reel i,m trying left hand winding to see how i go

Right handed and I reel with my right, I've done it that way since I was a little kid.



I've tried to switch, never stuck.

which ever hand sends the reel around the easiest has got to be the correct hand
