retrieve

[mdram]

whats your prefernce?

right hand vs left hand
high speed vs low speed?

i prefer left hand, from my bass fishing days, and a speed of @ 4-5:1

Surf rigs, spinning, left hand retrieve.
Sharkin'/trolling - right hand retrieve.

I am right-handed so my right arm does all the hoisting of the surf rods.
For sharkin'/trolling, if it's a heavy fight I pull with both hands because one gets worn out.

all my spinning gear is left hand and just about all (but 1)my bait-casters is right hand and my trolling reels are right hand. gear ratios on my reels is all over the place.

own no conventionals (yet) - but ALL my spinning and fly fishing is left hand retrieve....it just feels natural.

Right, left as long as it brings in fish I'll crank on it. but most reels I have are left
