Pretty simply to me.If your right handed why wouldn't you want the rod in your right hand to not only set the hook but to fight the fish with,while your left hand the "weaker" of the two does nothing but turn a handle.Plus all the other stuff that comes along with it like not having to switch hands part way through the money slot.I bought the first left hand reel I ever seen about 25 years a go I still have but it's in a zip loc bag in pieces.I beleive it was a quantum 1140 or something like that.It was the common sense thing to do back in high school,Just sayin.Good luck,
