I borrowed a righty reel and took it out 2 times to learn. Let's just say there is absolutely no way in hell I am going to learn to cast with my left.
Just not happening. I'm about as awkward casting lefty as a Panda going through life. You ever seen those clumsy things?  ~sweat

Too much work. Ain't nobody got time for that. Also can't pitch like that. Feels weird the handle is in the way.

I'm with you on that.
I had the opportunity to fish with some very nice reels last year. Unfortunately they were all righties. It just feels akward.
I couldnt even cast very well with them cause the handle was in the way!
TTK has spoken.

Monkey just chomped into me big time.

DSG is having a clearance sale on some G. Loomis E6X rods.  Got a MH/XF spinning rod for $100.  Rated for 3/16-5/8, which is lower than my St. Croix Mojo Bass M/F rod.  Figured it would be good for shaky heads and soft plastics.

The new Mojo Bass rod is a better rod IMO.

My Mojo Bass is a baitcasting rod.  Never tried a G. Loomis so I figured I'd give it a whirl.  Won't lose too much reselling it if I don't like it.

You have the Gen 1 Mojo, or the new Gen 2?

I'm a righty, I cast and reel with my right, but I've forced myself to learn how to pitch with my left. Pitching is where it's "too much work" (too slow) to switch hands for me, I like to have control as my bait hits the water. But casting with my right, I can switch hands while it's still on the fly.
There's about a 99% chance my rod and reel is going in the lake if I try to cast leftie, I know from experience.

Haha, well if the gen 2 has the SCIII blank with IPC, then it's a gen 2.  I got it for $90 when Academy stopped carrying the Mojo Bass line.  Always looking for deals.

Hey Steve, I gave the monkey your address since you bought that rod from me.  Monkey said he'd be right down!!

I see what your doing your trying to get that monkey away from your door by selling Steve your rod then sending that monkey down there with it to get Steve to spend some money on a new reel to go on it.  lo lo
