Why left hand wind on spinners and right hand wind on casters? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have wondered about this as well. I am right handed and reel a baitcaster with my right and a spinner with my left. Thats just how I learned. To have to switch the rod from right to left after the cast is just rediculuous though. I can cast with my left hand but it looks like the special olympics. When my dad retired and started to do mostly bass fishing he taught himself to cast with the left. Maybe I should work at it too. Mike
