I am right handed and I cast with my right hand and reel in with my left. To me, casting and holding the rod with my dominant hard/arm is more important than reeling-in. That is why all my Hardy Perfects are the more expensive and difficult to obtain left hand wind models, as are my all spinning reels and baitcast reels.

I rarely reel a fish in, unless it's a big one and I have to regain line that I've lost. Guess I just didn't explain myself correctly. JIMMY Anthony Spezio wrote: Jimmy, Next time on the stream, strip with your left hand and let the line lay on the water, try controlling the line through your left hand and stay off the reel. See if that works for you. That is what I do. Actually I slip the line between my index finger and the grip. The drag is controlled there and the left hand feeds the line. This may not be the right way of doing it but it works well for me. Tony -- -- **************** ><((((((((º> ***************************** JIMMY D.
