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

I'm right handed and only fish lefty conventional and baitcasters. After I had shoulder surgery on my left shoulder I was fighting a bigger model fish on a right handed reel and noticed how stupid it was that I was using my dominant arm to reel while all the rod fight was with my weak arm and bad shoulder.

I switched everything to left handed and love it. There isn't as much selection for lefty reels but I liked Avet in the first place.
