Maybe as a result of spinning tackle. I recall in the 50's that Ocean City
spinners were reeled with the left hand, the same as most are reeled today.
The Penn and Ocean City conventional reels were reeled with the right hand, as
they are today.

Thanks George. ÊI vaguely remember Lefty saying that. If it's good enough for
Lefty, it's good enough for me.Ê So I'll just keep on doing it my way. Ê
Thanks for your input

Jimmy, I know we have had this discussion on this list before. I do it the
same as you, that is cast with my right arm and switch to my left when I catch
a fish to reel it in. This is the way that I was taught and the way that fly
rods and reels were set up to be used by right-handed people at least back in
the 50s when I learned to fly fish.

BTW this is also the way that Lefty Kreh says that it should be done,
because you are using your dominant hand to do the work.

I don't know when they started teaching right-handed people to cast with
the right and reel with the left, but as far as I am concerned they are wrong.
