i think its personal preference on this one,maybe being left handed your left arm is stronger as is somebody that right handed with a stronger right arm. its just somet thats always baffled me and never know the reason...

With the fixed spool it means the rods not changing hands when casting Phil if you were left handed it would be the opposite way around. |
