Ian, I do not think of this as a left hand reel. I am right handed and cast
with my right arm/hand. I then pass the rod to my left arm and reel with my
right hand. This is/was the traditional way of learning to fly fish and how
I learned over 50 years ago. Thus, you are right handed you are always
and loaned gear. But unlike me, it would be better to be able to do it either
way. Like Jerry G.- he goes both ways.
My 2 cents

George,
That may be right for most people but I find it awkward to switch
I have been practicing to cast left handed and also to strip the line in iwth
my left hand.
At times I shift the rod and other times, just do it the way that it is in my
right hand to cast.
I rarely hook som ething large enough to have to go to the reel to fight it..

Hi VFB:
This is one of those no wrong answer threads...
I prefer a right-hand wind. I am right-handed, and hopelessly not a
switch hitter. I learned fishing on a Wright-McGill spin-cast reel
that looked somewhat like a closed fly reel, and it was also right
hand wind, with the rotations going
To me, left hand wind (LHW) refers to the way the reel is set up to operate,
therefore a reel set up for RHW reel is wound in by the right hand, usually
after changing the rod to the left hand but not always.
Initially, in my early days as a small boy using centre pin reels similar in
action

Did you ever fight a „real“ fish with your left hand as right hander or vice
versa ? – I mean really big fish.

till you were ready
One time - fishing with the guide's 12 weight which had about 300 yards
of backing and was set up for right hand retrieve. 20 lb tippet and the
drag was cranked down fairly heavy. We were in the Port Isabel channel,
South Padre Island Texas when I hooked something BIG. It looked like the
bow
