I was wondering how many of you guys can cast proficiently w/ either hand or, perhaps have at least tried to? I guess i'm not talking about ambidetxtrous dudes because for them, wouldn't be as much of a big deal. But, since most of us have a true dominant hand, and again, the majority happen to be righties, how many can cast left-handed? The reason I'm asking, are 2 fold: first, developed a wicked case of tennis elbow in my right forearm from practicing casting so much this summer! aqnd second, I noticed on a float trip for bass 3- weeks ago or so that when you're in a drift boat w/ other dudes, sometimes you have a better angle casting from the left than the right in certain situations. That day, because I happened to have most of my casting room and a better angle to my left, I started messin' around, casting w/ my left hand. It was a little ugly at first but I found after several casts, I actually could get it out there 30-40ft fairly consistently. Figured maybe I'd practice a little, to take a little pressure off my right arm and well, maybe open up a few oppurtunities in a fishing situation that weren't there previously!
