I know a lot of us fish off the back or our trawlers - given the speeds we go at are perfect for trolling!
I have a pair of Penn Ally rods with Penn Storm reels. Really like these combos. I cast right handed (though really just paying out) and the reels are set up for left hand retrieval.
Somehow I just can't get comfortable with left had retrieval. Don't know if I just don't fish enough to get used to it and strengthen that side of me. But I don't feel as smooth retrieving from that side. Some times I will turn the rod over to change the way the line comes in at the tip (not through the top eye, which I know can nip the line) to use right hand.
Is this just a function of the fact that I don't fish enough to get used to it, or will I never adjust to left had retrieval?
Has anyone else faced this and worked through it?
