I agree the spincast for light setups, but for salmon I use a level wind. I beach fish primarily, and sacrafice a little distance by not using a spin rig, but the drag system is better on a level wind. I like to set my drag a little light and use my thumb to control how much line I let the fish take. As far as the dominate hand theory I prefer to reel with my right (dominate) hand, can't say I lose lot of fish that way
