I think you're missing my point...I don't switch hands while there's a lure in the water, I'd never hold my rod in the same hand that the reel handle is on when the lure is fishing, and I can cast or retrieve with either hand, and in spite of my not-so-weak weak left arm having to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to setting the hook, my hookset is just fine.

No need to switch anything at my end...your mileage may vary.

Fish on...
