I HATE lefty baitcasters, I'll never switch on my personal gear.

When I'm forced to use a lefty baitcaster I've found choking up on the reel w/ my right hand helps me. I basically wrap my hand over the reel body & reelseat of the rod. For some reason it smooths out my retrieve & I can get a little more speed that way.

My lefty retrive still always feels chunky, like I'm reeling a square circle.
