Default Speaking of the Curado 201

Can anybody explain the logic of right-handed people using baitcasting reels
with right hand retrieves? I probably used a casting reel 2 or 3 times
until I was in my early 20s. That's when I started getting into bass
fishing and bought my first caster, a Shimano BMG 251X SG. A great reel,
that I still own 18 years later (but can't find parts for). Anyway, having
used spinning reels all my life with a left hand retrieve, I purchased a
left-hand retrieve casting reel and have ever since (I now own not nearly
enough, but more than my wife knows about).

Why do I feel like I am in the minority among right-handed people...let me
restate that, Why am I in the minority among right-handed people? Why do
most people prefer to change hands after casting with a casting reel, when
they would never do that with a spinning reel? Additionally, why do most
right-handed people who use right hand retrieves on the casting reels, use
left hand retrieves on their spinning reels? Why not stick to one cranking
hand? It makes no sense to me.

TIA,

Keith
