Left Hand.........Right Hand

fishbait · 11-20-2001, 02:50 PM

After dealing with tendenitis in my right elbow ever since Bouey 10, I have become a switch hitter. I had to borrow a few backward (rt hand crank) reels so I could fish. Now I want to own a few so I can fish either hand, but don't need anymore reels. Anybody have fairly new or very good shape older rt. hand crank abmasadors that they would want to trade for a fairly new left hand crank. Wide spool or narrow spool, I'm open. Post response or send private message.

Me also, Fishbait! Just had my annual "tuneup" today from the doctor and griped about a pain in my right elbow. Tennis elbow (I've never played tennis in my life!). Computer mouse is probably a huge contributor also, but I'm also on the hunt for a few "righties" to go with the "lefties". Sorry I don't have more reels with the crank on the right, we could do some trading.

For others, probably a good "read & heed" message! Don't hang on one reel/rod setup. There are also some doo-dads you can get for elbow braces. Bassmaster had a pretty good article on this a couple of years ago, as some of the top pros are having troubles with their elbows also from the constant casting. Beware!

You bet! I've got a few right handers that are in great shape and I'm always looking for a good "lefty"! Let me know and we'll work something out.

Thank you to those who have replied. I'm pretty confident that a trade can be arranged. :smile:
