Saintly Fish Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Rod right hand, reel with the left. It's the only way a right hander should do it!! Edited May 20, 2023 by Saintly Fish Jon cook and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malc Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Crankbaits or texas rig over shallow water or kelp beds, RH rod (trigger), deep water or casting LH on rod. The former because you are casting and retrieving regularly the latter just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I don't much like FS reels for general boat fishing, but ok for spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
