I am almost totally lefthanded. When I cast, the rod butt is in my right hand, my left is above the reel, guiding the rod cast. When I reel in, I use my left hand to turn the reel. This means the reel handle is on the left side. Yet I see some Penns, such as the 705Z, listed as lefthand reels, yet the handle is on the right side. Lefty conventional is total opposite of lefty spinner?

Why isn't this standardized industry wide?
