... And some right handed people learn to cast left-handed with their baitcasters so they don't have to transition after the bait hits the water. There are all sorts of preferences and variations.
I like the sensitivity and control with a spinning reel in my right hand. When I'm fishing shaky head or some other finesse-type rig, I like the rod in my dominant hand. I feel more in control. It's why I don't like using a baitcaster for lighter stuff.
When I'm using a baitcaster, I like to touch the line with my finger to add some strike-detection and sensitivity. I really only use baitcasters for crankbaits, buzzbaits, swimbaits and heavier worm rigs like Texas and Carolina.
