Ok, I got the reel itself figured out, but now I have a new predicament.
I only have a spinning rod to install my spincaster on right now. I've got it on and spooled and all set up, but I'm wondering, what's the best way to hold the rod like this until I can get a casting pole? Because the SC reel sits SO close to the rod, I have no room to wrap my fingers around the upper grip like I usually do, and it's awkward to hold the rod like I would hold a casting pole, because the retrieval arm is on the wrong side of the reel.
So my question is...
What's the best way to grip it?if its best to hold it like you would hold a casting pole, then how do I switch the retrieval arm to the other side of the reel?
Thanks again.
