I'm in the same boat so to say. I'm looking at getting a baitcaster but not sure to go left or right. I'm a lefty, all my spinning reels are left, shoot right in hockey and golf, bat right, catch and throw both hands (prefer to throw right though).
Does any store have a proper testing area so you can go in and try both sides before you buy? I ask as I was playing with my kids spinncaster the other day out back and for flipping; casting with the left was easy and bang on target. I didn't even notice I was reeling with my right. But to try casting a proper rod and reel from both sides before you buy would be great! It would save some good coin when you are spending a few hundred $$ a reel.
