Thanks, I'll have to remember to use that lame coverall phrase the next time I make a useless condescending post in someone elses thread.

yeah feel free to use it anytime

good luck with those muscle cramps, ya know they sell those little hand exerciser thingies at Academy next to the yoga mats and stuff...

If your from the North go ahead and just buy left hand reels like me. I can not set a hook with my left hand. If your from the south your father should be embarrassed for not teaching you to fish on a zebco....

I have gone to all LH reels to keep my dominate hand on the rod.

Stinkysteve,I was going to say that I grew up in the era when we had little choice in fishing reels,no level winds and all right hand reels.We had a lure called Hawiian(sp) wiggler it was solid lead and we fished it as a topwater,now I cast right handed and reel right handed so I had to switch hands while the bait was in the air so I could be reeling when the bait just hit the top.It worked for me,but after you went off on that other fellow ,I'm not going to tell you that I just switch hands and have been doing it for 50 years

Well, the old-timers have me now feeling a bit guilty about even considering modern technology to enhance my comfort level, so I'm just going to fish the old fashioned way: I'm going to use a dug-out canoe and a spear. Of course that brings up whether it should be a left or right handed spear...

Didn't mean to hurt your feelings,just letting you know that I for one am not coordinated enough to cast left handed so I have to fish the way I am used to fishing

Buy either Shimano Citicas Or Curados. I bought six Curados over 10 years ago and have only needed parts for 1. The other 5 are still original and going fine. The Citica is less expensive and I bought 2 for my son and they seem good also.
