RHer myself. Use Left hand retrieve spinning reels and Right hand retrieve baitcasters. I don't switch hands with the spinning reel but w/a baitcaster I have to. This is done while the lure is on its way to the target. I hold baitcasters w/the reel (not the rod)in the palm of my left hand while reeling with the right. I feel holding baitcasters by the reel gives me better leverage. I place the butt of the rod against my left hip on my upward hooksets and sometimes even on my sweeps. It just makes me feel more comfortable and varies the hands used throughout the day (Spinning: reel lh, work rod rh; Casting: reel rh, work rod lh). Just my own little opinion. Don't reckon it matters that much long as there's something w/fins on the other end.
