A:
Depends on the fishing application but yes. If you cast with your right hand, you need to be able to reel the slack up and set the hook as quickly as possible. Otherwise, you may miss any strike that occurs as the lure hits the water or on the fall, for instance, near a dock.This becomes even more important when fishing light tackle. I also can set the hook much more accurately with my right hand.
If you are new to fishing, it may take a few casts to get used to it, but after a short time it becomes automatic.

I crank with my right hand and also cast with my right hand.Once I cast, I just switch hands and fish. I have been told that the way I fish is weird but I do better than most and like the others said it's just a mater of preference and also how comfortable you are. Do it which ever way feels best to you, if it works great and you comfortable then it's the way for you.

A:
I'm right handed and find that cranking with my right while setting the hook and casting with my left is a better method with most spinning reels. Since you crank the reel and catch the line with your finger, it comes right up to your left hand index finger with no awquard fumbling to get your finger on the right side of the line to catch it. But it is all personal preference.A:
This is mostly personal preference but my answer is yes. I am also right handed and reeling with theleft hand means you "set the hook" with your right, dominant arm. This gives you more jerking power in most instances.Details:

When I go to purchase this rod it gives me all these options, I am unsure of which to choose, I hope someone will help me with this. I am just a regular bass fisher, with all these options what should a regular bass fisher choose?

A:
I would recomend that you get the6'6" medium heavy with the 300 reel! You can go up to 10 # test line and as low 6# test line!It is a bit bigger than the 308, and a lot stronger! You may get the chance at a 5 to 10 lb bass, the 308 is just to small and does not hold enough line! The 300 holds 210 yards of 10 lb test, for those big fish who take long runs!The 308 is more of a lite reel for trout!

There's a lot of technical aspects to look at if you were 'picky'. But if you're just simply looking for a good 'generic' and versatile combo....go with the 308Xe reel on a 6'6" MH rod. Spool it with a 8 pound test monofilament line and tie on what ever you want. The Mitchell reel is a good reel btw.1 of 1
