Like you say, it all comes down to what is comfortable and how you want to do things - I was just thinking about why most spin/fly setups are left-handed and most level-wind reels are right-handed. I really don't know, just an idea.
I troll quite a bit. I don't cast at all, just let out the line. I was thinking more of people I've seen fishing salmon and sturgeon from the shore - they use big baitcasting reels on long poles and cast with both hands.
I did have a bass casting rod (one handed, pistol grip style handle) that I bought with a left retrieve because I was used to spinning. I liked it that way, but the fact is that most baitcasting reels in the store are right retrieve. Do people (right-handed) that buy these reels cast with their left hand or switch hands after casting?
) but yea when i said i cast when i troll i meant with a regular spinning rod and reel with a little boat and i also meant i toss behide the boat then let out line..
lol
