ok...earlier this week I posted questions about a new fly reel for my 4wr rod. I had settled on a 1492 Medalist though reading through the description I notice this rod is only right hand retrieve....Granted I won't be using the retrieve much except to bring in line at the end of the day I reel prefer to use my left hand to retrieve...feels more natural.

So my question is this..Does it really matter? SInce the reel is a click and pawl drag does it matter which way I wind the line on? If that is the case I would get the 1492 and use it backwards to obtain a left hand retrive.
