I'm just curious, I have been fishing all of my life and have always wondered about the right hand vs. left hand reel configurations.
I am right handed and believe I use the typical configurations for a right hander. With a spinner, I crank the reel using the left hand. With a conventional, I crank using the right hand.
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"?
