Where To Find A Decent Left-Handed Casting Rod... 2024
chelboed reply :
So tired of putting my lefty Steez on a right-handed rod. Everything feels out of whack. I need to source a good top-shelf lefty rod...7'2" ML M-S glass for bottom bumping.
Thoughts?

Say what?
DogBone_384 reply :
Thoughts..... I don't think I've ever seen a left handed fishing rod in my life, unless someone makes a left handed spiral wrapped custom rod.
Please post pictures when you find one.

Choporoz reply :
If it's a lefty reel, can't you just hold the right handed rod in your right hand and reel with your left hand?
IAY reply :
If you get a Megabass ARM, they will custom craft the handle based on your hand and whether you are lefty/righty.

The absolute pinnacle of the Megabass line, the ARMS is a masterpiece both to be admired and fished. Featuring Fuji Titanium SiC guides, custom carbon-fiber accents, a metal reel seat custom built by ITO Engineering, hand-finished wooden Maple grips customized for right-handed or left-handed anglers, Hi-Impact Multiplex Graphite blanks from tip to butt end of high-modulus braided graphite, and that fit & finish that can only come from Megabass. These rods are made in extremely limited quantities, and as such, are not stocked at Megabass USA. However, if you are interested in one of the ARMS rods, we can special order one for you. Simply follow the link on the right-hand side to our contact page, and a representative will contact you shortly with the details.

Give up fishing & do beer commercials instead..

It will component my left-handed screw driver nicely.
ww2farmer reply :
I use left handed casting reels, but I stay away from the left handed rods because you have to tighten the reel seat nut down with an expensive metric pipe wrench.

I never understood why folks roll with a RH baitcaster and then their spinning setup has the crank on the left. In what universe does this even make sense? If you are currently doing this, you are as screwed up as a soup sandwhich.

I understand the grief you're going through. I'm stuck using a left handed baseball bat.

You guys could all be suckers. Maybe he's the one that's being facetious?
pbizzle reply :
I was at a store one time full of left handed paraphernalia. Everything from left handed toilet paper, left handed drinking straws, and yes even left handed fishing rods. I was going to but one for my left handed cousin but I only had my right handed credit card.

That could very well be true. However, with some of the questions I see on here, nothing surprises me.

I got a left handed quarter pounder at McDonalds once. I know it was a left hander, because as soon as I put
it in my right hand, I dropped it. I only go to Arby's now. Arby's is the G Loomis of roast beef.

I realize you have taken a lot of guff for this post. But all I want you to do is pick up a rod, without the reel, and look at it. Hold it in each hand and pretend to cast and perhaps perform some "jig" movements. Then think about the geometry. Fishing rods are symmetrical therefore theoretically there is no such thing as a "left handed" rod. I suppose you can have a custom handle installed or a custom rod built with a handle that fits you better but the reality is any mass produced rod will essentially be ambidextrous.

.ghoti. reply :
It's very easy to convert a right handed rod to left handed. You simply have to rotate the entire reel seat / grip assembly 720 degrees to the right. Yes, to the right. Trust me on this.
You'll need a container tall enough to completely submerge the entire handle assembly. Take this container to the supply shop and get it filled with steam. Make sure you have enough steam to cover the entire handle assembly.
Soak the handle in the steam filled container until ice crytals form. The simply rotate 720 degrees.
Make sure you perform the operation on August 13.

Hahaha...I thought everyone was on board. I'm not lefty, don't own a Steez, and get bored and like to have fun conversations with strangers.
It don't get much stranger than this group! Hehehe.
It was satire from the get go.

You'll find that the membership here is routinely game for this and will usually entertain it - - for a while.
I will warn you however, that starting one of these in the dead of winter, can be a risky proposition . . .

So you're not only bashing the classic spinning reel, you're saying you don't care for a good vegetable beef sandwich?

I like soup sandwiches. My favorites, nicken choodle, or nurkey toodle.
