This seems natural but my guess is only because that is what I am used to. Are there any logical reasons for the typical configurations? Or are these not "typical"?

I've seen more than one newcomer turn their spinning reel over so they could reel with their right hand. I've seen some right handers cast conventional reels with their left hand but I cast both with my right hand.
