Parker brought up an interesting debate thats seems to plague all fishing circles:

Right versus Left handed retrieve!

Just for fun and sake of curiosity, lets generate some statistics (you know engineers love numbers?):

Which do you prefer, right or left?

I am a lefty all the way, I tried the right and found out that it was WRONG (at least for me anyway). My first baitcaster was a righty and the day I switched, my catch ratio improved immediately and dramatically!

I saw a guy this weekend with a spinning rod that could have the handle on either side and he was casting with one hand and switching hands to reel!
