Right Hand - Left Hand; Reel Configuration - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

That's the same with me. Left hand wind with a spinner n right with a conventional. I don't bass fish much but got a left handed flipping reel and I found it was better for me than a righty. I picked up another Lefty bait caster and after a little practice I found I liked it better also.

This isnt quite the same but shows how learning to switch hand can be helpful. Long rod surface iron fishing is my fav fishing technique. The casting motion unormally goes strait over the shoulder, from 6:00 o'clock. But having the rods right behind me makes me cast from 4:00 o'clock towards 9-12. I found cast toward 1 to 4 about impossible with out turning the kayak. Can't say I've mastered it, but Im working on casting Lefty from 7 to 8 out 1 to 4. Try it. Mike.
