Great demonstration. Awesome content. Just subscribed to your channel for future vids. Keep up the great work and keep them videos coming. Good luck and tight lines man.

Why was the real making the noise ? My DC don’t make that noise with my helium LTA

Please more videos! This pure quality!!

It's common sense when coming from spinning setups.

Always only used spinning reels that were LH retrieve. I've been going back and forth, back and forth, and this video sold me on what I was already thinking. Going to grab a LH retrieve baitcaster. Thanks!

Great advise

100% agree. I always thought I was wrong because most the bait casters and conventional reels are right handed, but I always fished lefty.

There is no right or wrong. Just do what feels right for you. You're not gonna lose a fish for switching hands for reeling.

What’s your thoughts on megabass oneten stick and exp610m compared to this one? Thanks

You are right. What's the logic of switching the rod from one hand to another after casting?? I never did that when I was using spinning reels. Why would I do that when using a baitcaster? Hold your rod with the dominant hand from end to end and reel with the other hand, both with spinning and baitcasting reels.

nice catch

It depends on the person and what you used to im right hand but for 20 years i use baitcasters r/h and spinning reels i crank with my left ..my brain is trained already and i thought of this yearsss ago but just dont feel right. I cant give the lures the action with my r/h the way my left hand can. i just cant undone whats is already set in my brain 😅😅

U still have the Chronarch?

Totally agree. I grew up on right handed spinning reels and picked up a right handed baitcaster. It felt so wrong. My left handed curado mgl comes in tomorrow and I can't wait to see how it goes! Thanks for the affirmation.

They aren't "left hand baitcasters", they are "left hand reel" baitcasters I think a lot of anglers are confused by the wording 'right hand' and just think that's what they should use because they are right handed... I can not understand how anyone could continuously cast and switch hands - I would sick of that after about half an hour of fishing.

What reel is that

Ở chỗ chúng tôi rất ít khi dùng dây như cắc bạn thay vào đó chúng tôi sử dụng dây dù pe thay vì dùng dây cước như của cắc bạn cắc bạn có thể cho tôi biết tại sao cắc bạn lại dùng dây dó là chủ yếu được không cảm ơn cắc bạn nhiều

G'Dam, like a fine watch!

just use braied line

What reel?

Oooh what reel? Super premium looking. Also sorry for the dumb question but what is the difference between this and a regular baitcaster ?

nice reel dude

Well, that’s what I call a good day

nice looking combo! fish on 🐟

Playing the pattycake-pattycake hand-switching game for right handed anglers to use a “right handed” reel has always seemed nonsensical to me. What’s even worse is when you have bizarro anglers who do the same thing with a spinning rod and have the handle mounted on the right side of the reel instead of the left. There is a pretty popular channel host here name Fishaholic, who does that and it drives me bonkers how irrational it is. The only reasons for buying a right-handed reel if you are right handed is because the vendor doesn’t carry the left-handed version of that model or charges more for it.

Man I had no idea bait casters were labeled opposite like this lol As someone who is right-handed I would naturally expect the handle of the reel to be on the left. To hold the rod with my right like a spinning reel. So it's referring to which hand holds the reel, not the rod. Glad I know now.

Great video. Thanks. In my case like many did, I started with a right hand bait caster. Due to relocating to NYC. I didn’t fish for years and 18 years ago I moved back to Florida and started using spinning reels using left hand retrieve A few years back I decided to give a bait caster a try again and realized that the correct way for me was to continue what I am doing with a spinning setup. So left retrieve is the way to go for me. Your video is spot on. Thanks again. GOD Bless

As a european using left handed bc reels for about 15 years i NEVER understood why anyone righthand dominant would want to use a right hand retrieve bc. I've had quite some disussions with americans and i never found their arguments convincing. I've tried right handed bcs and it just felt plain wrong - in fact, it felt so wrong that i not even wanted to "train" it (argument was: use it a while and you'll feel right!). Also that you have to switch hands to cast, sorry, thats just st*pid. Funniest thing is that the same people use their spinning combos with left hand retrieve. I maybe get the point when you need cranking power for big saltwater fish, but as long as i'm catching fish in freshwater, i want to have the best possible control over my rod, the cast, the bait, the hookset and the drill - and that's with the rod in my right hand.

You need to buy a new dc chip

I find it funny how many folks act like their non dominant hand is limp or something. It’s not hard to either cast left handed, or switch hands while casting, nor make subtle movements with your non dominant. I feel like a lot of you act like the butler on Scary Movie. 😂

I agree with you 100%. I thought the hand exchange is unnatural . Im dominant right handed and use all left hand retrieve

I always thought this. I will probably sell my Lew’s Mach 2 and pick up a left handed Daiwa or Shimano now. Thanks! 👍

So your dominant hand is right handed?

You can literally do the same thing with your right hand when you cast then you click it closed with a real handle. I can set the hook just fine with my undominated hand.😂

Great video. Something new to learn. I work with my hands and have had to switch off. So, it feels natural for me to switch. I had used spin cast for years and then open cast. I had never thought about that. Now i just started using a baitcaster and learning as i go.

Don't throw it away bud, Give it to me...😂

As someone very new to bate casters, I thought I bought the wrong one 😂 I ordered a right handed caster and couldn’t figure out why I was using my left hand. I feel like for someone like me who is learning mostly by myself, not using friends set ups. The fact that I caught that weird feeling shows casters are labeled wrong. So now I have a very nice set up, that feels completely awkward to use and I can’t wait to get a left handed caster now! Also! Man you deserve way more subs your channel is awesome!

Beautiful fish, great job!

I've always used spinning reels and have been researching baitcasters. This makes so much sense. I feel like the transition should be a lot easier. Thanks for the video.

The absurdity of right side crank and hand switching becomes more evident when you see how lame their lure articulations are: most use reel handle to do this, while squared away individuals use their rod both for playing fish more effectively, as well as more finesse twitching. Right-side cranking is mistake that gets inherited.

G a y.

Good video. I'm what's called cross dominant or mixed-handed so I do different things with different hands. I'm new to fishing and kind of feel confused because both left and right don't feel right at the moment. I think I'm going to use the left-handed since my power is in my right hand/arm while my finesse is (writing, using a fork) is done with my left hand

I agree 100%

me right handed love Left handed baitcast setup

I live in italy EU and we use mainly Left Hand Baitcater ( for right hand man)....never switch hand for flipping o combat fish

This always confuses me I accidentally ordered a left handed reel and iv never switched back all new reels I buy are left handed I still have some right handed reels in the rotation but I find it uncomfortable and I’m fazing them out

4:52 ok now your just being a petty. You just say that you are 6ft 1 in 215lbs that works out and your wittle hand can't handle 1-1.5 oz difference in the reel weight is the funniest thing I've ever heard. You even said you don't see others having this problem yet you've had 2 different reels and still have that problem.. I hate to sound rude brother but that's 100% user error. It does take time to get the dc release cause the brake system ain't like your regular bc reel, they've made it to be the easiest to use for ppl who might not know how to use their thumb on a bc reel. But to each his own it's like a knife, it could be considered the best handle ergos ever but if it don't feel good in your hand we'll then obviously it's not the one for you. You obviously seem to comprehend how to use a bc reel so ain't no reason to have almost 300$ reel if you don't love it. Good luck bud

I’ve seen vids of fisherman that use a open face that cast with there right and reel with there left then in the same video switch to a bait caster cast with there right then switch and reel with the same. I don’t under stand it.

I’m right hand dominant and use a left hand bait caster because I grew up with open faced reels!

The inconsistency is physics, wind, and human error. If you want to send lures and not feather just get a spinning setup.
