casting a caster with both hands.....

[Fishie1]

Okay how many guys on here can cast both ways the same.....I have not mastered the left hand cast.....is casting both ways beneficial?

[ironman]

I can only do left hand and I'm right handed.

[Raul]

Are you left handed ? if not why are you trying to cast with the left ?

[Fishie1]

I read somewhere that all the pro's can cast with both hands and flip with both hands the same pretty much.......thought I should probably learn it....

[skeeter944]

i am left handed and cast with my left,but can pitch and flip with my right hand and cand do a 2 hand power cast with my right. i is benficial because say you have carpal tunnel or you slip and fall down the stairs before a big tourny and sprain you wrist.you dont have to stop fishing,just switch hands.

The most coordinated movements I can do with my left are: holding the rod, twitching the bait and scratching my rear end, can´t ask an oak tree to bear apples.

If you don't mind taking the time to learn how to cast with both hands, then I would say definitely go for it. Because that could mean you could pick up other reels that are opposite retrieved of what you normally fish. For instance, if you fish right hand retrieve reels, you could pick up a left hand retrieve crankbait reel that won't wear down your left arm so much when chunking those huge cranks.
