Most decent spinning reels have handles that can be reversed. I haven't
seen too many traditional casting reels on which you can switch the
crank handle.

I never bother changing the spinners. I should note that my casters
are baitcasters, lightweight and made to sit on top. I've had 2 Abu
Garcias, a 5000C and 6000C and changed the handles, but I think there
are Penn models that have the option.
I never owned a big sea caster, just used them on charters.
But if I buy one I would want a right side crank. Didn't know
convertibles were rare.

I'm left handed for handwriting and holding a fork. I throw a baseball
right-handed, shoot right-handed, bowl right handed. I cast with my
right hand and reel with my left.

You're weird.
I do everything left, except mousing. Most of this could be changed
if necessary. It's in large part practice and habit.
I think plenty of leftys have been changed to rightys by nuns slapping
a ruler on their hand.
