    I got the Lew's XFinity today and took my 5 year old twins fishing for the first time. I knew what I was doing only because of you, fisherman Norm, and LOJO. It was by far the best time that my boys have ever had with me. I've been looking for some way for them to connect with me since I was in the Marine Corps I've had a hard time connecting with anyone. They both told me that they want to fish all the time with me. Thanks guys! These videos really saved me in a big way!

  • @tallbassman6068

  • @keatoncampbell5137
    @keatoncampbell5137 3 роки тому +1

    I’m right handed and have only used left handed bait casters since I started fishing with them. I grew up using spinning gear only, because that was all my dad used. But they were always left hand retrieve. So it just made since to me to get the others with a left hand retrieve. I think it makes way more sense and is just more efficient and comfortable personally. It never made sense to me trying to use a right hander.
    Two weeks ago I went down to Texas for blue catfish and stripers though and the guides only had right handed reels and I was still able to fish just fine. Caught a 35 pound blue! :)
    Awesome videos yak, thanks for making these!

  • @emilya468
    @emilya468 3 роки тому +6

  • @natehill8784
    @natehill8784 3 роки тому +2

    I just bought my first baitcaster, all my spinning reels are set up with right handed crank, I cast then switch hands to reel in, I bought a left handed crank bait caster... While new way to fish, so much easier to cast and keep it in hand instead of switching.
    Love the videos!

  • @jaywatkins27

    Phil Mickelson is nicknamed Lefty because obviously he golfs lefthanded. What many don't realize is he is right handed. His uncles lefthanded clubs were in the garage when he borrowed them and taught himself to play. Simply amazing

  • @theholygoose5358
    @theholygoose5358 3 роки тому

    I'm right handed and use left handed reels almost completely. I just prefer having my dominant hand on the rod because it's not only easier to cast, but I don't worry about the pole getting ripped out of my hands if I hook into a river monster. It might also have something to do with only ever having hand-me-down gear or cheap stuff that is all I could find.

  • @anthonywitmeier222
    @anthonywitmeier222 3 роки тому

    I am right handed but I started out using a left handed baitcaster so that I can have a faster reaction time and dont have to keep switching hands after I cast, I have really enjoyed using it this far.

  • @rudybanegas204
    @rudybanegas204 2 роки тому

  • @itscake4206
    @itscake4206 3 роки тому

    I’m a right; but learned on a left because of the same reason you have. The tedious switching bothers me while I’m trying to cover water fast. Found it much easier to just learn the leftie; and use it as a main hand

    Left handed retrieves makes the most sense for right handed people though.

    im a right hander who uses left hand retrieve. its superior. you fight the fish with your dominant hand and don't have to switch hands after casting. All you have to have is the slightest bit of coordination to reel with your left hand and you are set.
    plus if you started out fishing on a spinning reel that was left handed on the bottom side its literally the same damn thing!

    @SkyxPrince 3 роки тому

    Not gonna lie, I fish left handed everything despite being actually right handed. It feels more natural to me. I ordered a right handed reel online for the first time (before I even knew I fished left handed), I was so confused of why it was not on the side I was used to. It was very wrong for me to assume. But yeah, I change all my stuff to left handed reels. I love it.

  • @carenalexander5913
