Explain to me why most left-handed people hold a fishing rod with the reel
up rather than down like it's supposed to be.

Most reels have crank handles that may be swapped to the other side.

It's simple.

Most left handed people are morons.

Well, except for those who post here that is.

Well, on second thought, all of us here are morons.

Otherwise why would we be here? :)

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'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.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, but we all started with right handed reels, which were much more
popular 40+ years ago when we all started fishing.

Speaking of NYC, have you done any boating on the Hudson. When my son
was looking at colleges, we went all over the NE, but I thought it would
be great to travel up the river.

It is great. The Hudson River is one of the most scenic cruises in the
north east. Starting with NY harbor, Statue of Liberty and the famous
skyline, ending north of the Catskill and Berkshire Mountains, just
about every mile has something interesting to offer.

WHAT?!?!?!?

You were wrong?

Another hero gone from my life.

No, no, no, Tom. I won't be wrong until "20 years after I'm dead".

Put me back up on the pedestal. Hey, wait a minute! That's not a
pedestal- it looks like a stump! In fact it is a stump..... why are
we out in the middle of the woods and what's with this big flat board
with the red bulls eye right behind me!? :-)

I don't change the handle on spinning reels, because I've adjusted to
changing hands after casting. Probably was by the time I was 5 years
old. Besides, I usually fish with righty family member and we swap
rods a lot. I don't want to inconvenience them, since it's no problem
for me. No problem cranking with my left hand, but since my right arm
is weaker it might affect hauling in a really big fish. That's only
happened to me once. Sob.
I've never seen anybody holding a rod with spinning reel on top, and
that is probably a figment of your imagination. Perhaps some type of
compensation deal that a right-hander uses to cope.
I do put the crank on the right side of my casting reels, and NOBODY
uses my pets but me.
Did you know that scissors don't work well for left-handers?
That's no accident of design. We don't like being a seamstress.

they make lefty scissors.
