[QUOTE="Brine, post: 99880, member: 1053"] A guide I've fished with posted this as a response on another site I frequent. Makes since to me... The reason why is because spinning reels are just susposed to be used to take up line after you use the rod to do the pulling of the fish, bait, etc. The handle on the left enables right handed people to use their stronger hand and arm on the rod for more power. A baitcaster is more of a winch and the reel is used often to move the fish, bait, etc. instead of the rod. The handle being on the right lets right handed people to use their stronger hand to crank on the reel. Personally I use all my handles on the right but I have stripped a lot of gears on my spinning reels using them as a winch. [/QUOTE]
