When I wanted to learn to cast a spinning rod a lot of years ago my mate who was going to teach me asked if I was R or L handed. I told him R, he said pick up the rod in your L hand then?? When I protested he asked if I could already cast a rod and I obviously said no. "So what difference will it make?" was his response. Anyway I learnt to cast left handed which meant I didn't need to change hands to start winding line back when the lure hit the water as the rod was already in my left hand, simple & extremely efficient.

Any way I also did the same when I started turning and find it really comes in handy sometimes. Possibly expert turners may say if you use the tools well you don't need to use your left hand. I'll probably never be in that group.

At the end of the day you can get used to doing anything left handed if you overcome the prejudice of the right handed society we live in.

A more interesting topic than might have been thought of at first glance.

A right handed axe man has his right hand nearer to the head of the axe.
A right handed batsman has his right hand towards the bottom of the handle
and his left side facing the bowler.

Does this not conflict with the notions of handedness expressed here????
