I'm right-handed... but fish with left-hand retrieve reels because I like to work the rod with my dominant arm. I think much more coordination and strength is needed to do that... then to turn the crank on a reel.

When it comes to larger game like tuna, sturgeon or halibut, where you plant the rod butt against your body though... I prefer to reel with my right hand.
