I am right hand dominate and use right hand BC reels. I don't really know why other than the fact that I learned that way. Maybe I should try a left hand reel because it does make more sense that way.

not worth it for Shimano (tooling costs apparently) to make left handed reels in all their models?
I guess this site is not indicative of Shimano's target market.....

I'm a lefty who throws right and reels left:). I'm from Germany and here it is common to throw right and reel left. But my first reel was left handle because there was nothing else available so I learned to cast with the wrong hand. I cast quite well with my off hand, maybe I should learn to cast with my dominant hand too to have an advantage in heavy covered small streams.
Fly rod I cast with the left hand.

I must say I'm surprised by the results of the attached survey.

Cast with right.
Reel with left.
I began fishing with casting reels in the '50s and never liked having to switch hands to reel.
Fwiw, my father was also righthanded, but batted lefty and golfed lefty.
When I played golf I used righthanded clubs, but putted from the left usually.

I’m right handed.
Cast mainly with left and reel with right.

I am surprised to see lefties surpassing righties! 57% to 43%
I hope the major brands are paying attention.
