My steelhead and salmon rods are all left hand crank level winds. It’s not as big of a deal with deep sea set ups as I’m not casting across a river or stream. Still takes me a bit to get used to it. I feel like I’m throwing a football left handed. Ain’t no one wanna see dat.Here's what conventional reels look like. The reel is on top of the rod. You have to use your right hand to crank... no option of switching sides on the handle. Seems to me that this should be the preferred side for the handle.
BTW... nice fucking reels. Very sweet.Here's what conventional reels look like. The reel is on top of the rod. You have to use your right hand to crank... no option of switching sides on the handle. Seems to me that this should be the preferred side for the handle.

So sad that my reels haven’t even been on my rods for over a year. I finally moved them from mini storage to my house. Still a bunch of wrapped rods and boxed reelsThanks.
You can never have enough. I have 4 of each of these. LOL... aka small fortune.
I have like 10 spinning set-ups. Hahahah
In this pic I'm holding the rod with my left hand

Reading your description, I'm a lefty fisherman cause I hold left and reel right!I just went outside and took a pic of one of my spinning rod set-ups. This is what left-handed looks like on a spinning reel. Remember... the reel is under the rod on a spinning set-up. You can switch the handle to either side of the reel with spinning reels... so 90% of spinning rod users (righties) have the handle set up to crank with their left hand.
In this pic I'm holding the rod with my left hand... I reel the handle with my right. That's the lefty way.
My buddy happens to be the nephew of Tom Seaver. (Toms sisters kid) He had the benefit of some great one-on-one with his uncle when he was a kid. He actually became one of the few pitchers that could throw ambidextrous. He pitched for Michigan back in the ‘80s but never went pro.I throw a baseball with my right hand but hit from both sides and kick a ball equally with each foot. I write and eat left handed. I play a guitar “backwards”and badly
I watched him pitch here last week, a guy picks th ingredients with each hand to two different batters in one inning. A first for me and was fun to watch.My buddy happens to be the nephew of Tom Seaver. (Toms sisters kid) He had the benefit of some great one-on-one with his uncle when he was a kid.

I guess the Dodgers have a guy now Pat Venditte that throws both ways.
