I'm sorta ambidextrous and fish with right handed baitcasters. I cast with either arm depending on my mood. I cast with both arms together a lot too, so I just automatically pass the rod to my left hand as I cast. Usually, when I cast with my right hand... as the rod hits the apex of its arc I switch it to my left hand, right hand goes to the handle. No fiddling with switching hands vwhen the bait is in the water. Tried a lefty reel and it just feels weird. On the rare occasions where I use a spinning reel (read trout fishing every 10yrs or so) I cast with my right arm and wind with my left, tried it the other way and just can't do that either. I learned it that way and that's it.
Same with scissors though. I was forced in school to use my right hand even though it felt wrong, now I can never cut with my left. When I played soccer, either foot worked as well as the other. I write with my left hand and draw, but I paint with both. Why all this background you ask? Just to say, do what feels natural and adjust from there.
