I have talked about this subject with many anglers. It seems that old habits are hard to break.
One reason that majority use right handed casting/conventional reels is because those were the only available kind. Now these days more and more manufacturers are making left handed ones.>>

I am right handed and have used left hand for spinning reels all of my life. When I got a left handed casting reel by accident, I liked it very much. >>
Since I am right handed, I like to have the rod in my right (stronger) hand. After making my cast/s I don’t need to change hands. I keep the rod in the same hand.>>
Cranking the reel which has mechanical advantage due to gears, requires less power in my opinion than lifting a rod with fish hanging from it.>>
