Baitcasting reel for beginner

[fishincreek]

Since you adept in spinning, start with a LH reel. No reason to switch the rod into other hand with ever cast. Best advice I ever received on baitcasters. I also started casting by throwing my thumb down like throwing a screwball when pitching.

Did you never switch the spinning reel to right handed cranking? I never understood why people didn't do this...but maybe I am different

No it always stayed on the left side, then going to baitcasters an old time muskie guide urged me to use LH reels and I never looked back.
