Steps - I was out last Wednesday also there was a pair of 'skis heading nth on the inside of shag.. and another single...must have been you.
No other boats around other going widing which left the only other boat you may have seen being us...
I , the wife and couple children are all lefties....our spion reels are all set to out of bthe box 'right handed'
Son is right handed .. his is set to 'left handed'
I grew up in the 50s/ 60s with spinners set this way.
Watch a few movies from over seas and one notices the same.
If left handed your strongest side is left handed.. that pulls the rod.. the other just winds.
When cast out a SB what ever, one holds the rod in left hand, cast, using the primary arm.. then hits the handle, drop bail with right hand, without having to change hands in the 'normal' setup.
Have since noticed that offshore guys over here tend to do the same...and vaguely rem being mentioned on several TV shows.. MW one thing Angry fish the other (???)
So to me , using your prinmary/ strong arm the control casting and lifting and weaker secondary to wind and lift is far more logical..
I know when I pick up my sons rod (right handed) and set up 'left handed' and me left handed it fews very unnatural.. maybe what one learnt on day one...but also changing the rod over between arms seems silly and wasteful.
