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 using your dominant hand. Today's fly fisher has some how been mistakenly (in my opinion) learned to cast with their right hand and reel with their left. In which case reels need to be altered for right hand reeling. I still believe that most if not all manufactures still sell their reels oriented to the old way. Famed fly caster Lefty Kreh still advocates using your dominant hand as I was taught. George Vincent
