🙂 Does it really matter Karl? Going clockwise seems pretty logical to me. Let’s not over-complicate something so simple.

So I’m supposed to drop my lure behind my back at 2:00 to adjust my spool tension? If I’m wrong, please enlighten me. If you’re wrong, please correct your otherwise good advice.

Can we take a minute to confirm the clock positions commonly used in fishing? 12:00 is rod straight up. 6:00 is rod straight down. 9:00 is rod straight out in front of you. 3:00 is rod straight BEHIND you. These are the reel positions that it seems almost everyone in the fishing world uses. If I’m wrong, please enlighten or tell me where I can get dyslexic classes so I can deal with the fishing world.
