2844, Left Handed VS. Right Handed
Posted by bass ackwards, Mon May-03-04 08:54 PM
First I must thank everybody that helped me see through all the hype when deciding which baitcaster to purchase. I have decided on a Shimano Chronarch 100 SF. Now I am unsure on which way to go; left or right handed. This will be my first baitcaster. I am used to the standard lefthanded spinning rigs. I have noticed while shopping that not all baitcasters come in left handed models. I dont know if I should buy a lefthanded model which I am already acustomed to or buy a righthanded model and go through the learning curve now so I dont limit myself in the future to which reel I can use. The only benefit to buying a lefty other than already being comfortable with it is the fact that you dont have to switch hands after casting to get your hand on the crank. Thank you! Your help is greatly appreciated!
