>>198203This anon gets it. Using a left handed retrieve baitcaster gives us right hand dominant people more rod control which is more important than controlling actual retrieve speed. It's also a lot easier to learn good retrieve techniques with our off hand than to learn good rod control with an off hand.
Also OP didn't ask about being a tournament fisherman on the pro circuit. I actually tried tournament fishing while in college. I wasn't bad at it I just despised being pressed for time doing something that is easily 10x more enjoyable taking your time.
