Got an email today promoting rod blanks designed for left handed folks . I know I'm new to all this but I can't understand how a blank could be made differently so that it would function better for south paws . If someone could help me understand this , I would appreciate it .
Thanks .
Ron

Well put it this way, Shimano poison adrena rod is 140% more sensitive, it's in all their marketing.

MacDonalds burgers are 100% beef

And cigarettes don't cause cancer.... they eventually debunked the bottom two, but they were allowed to market it for a while.

As for the top one it means absolutely nothing, it's fluff that sells to the uninformed. Much like a left handed blank, the inventor of the pet rock made millions selling rocks... like regular ground rocks.

But do please share who this manufacturer is so we can all have a good laugh.

Kinda wondering when this April fools joke was gonna bring something up. OH the powers of the internet and social media!!!!!

I'm with Ron, April 1st was the first thing I thought when I got that email. lol

They are cryogenically cooled in a massive refrigerator and then hard boiled to perfection. That’s a pretty good punch line.

Just checked my emails, I thought it was hilarious - a prefect satire of Shimano and other nonsense marketing schemes. They did a good job with that one haha

Left handed blanks work just as well as metric crescent wrenches.

I'll let ya know how they are tomorrow....WAS gonna pick up my left hand blank tonight but ran out of headlight fluid for the truck, so now I can't drive in the dark!

The only difference between right and left handed blanks is the direction the prepeg pattern is rolled onto the mandrel.

Was just laughing at the promo over lunch with my wife. Wasn’t last years a reel seat?

What's so funny,

I have a set of left and right hand metric screwdrivers (Philips), the big problem I have is keeping them organized.

I believe it was, a reel seat that can hold 2 reels at the same time, one casting and one spinning. Mudhole marketing staff really put in a lot of effort for it to, came out with a promotional video and everything. Very well done

Just as I thought . But , hey , don't yall go putting down the south paw crescent wrenches . Best money I ever spent .

Be sure to stock up on Water Line.

Ronald,
I am left handed, and I always had to order left handed blanks to be completely happy with the blank.

My hand simply does not get the best out of a right handed blank.

Best wishes

Roger ,
Who knew ? My fishing trips have never turned out quite as well as I would've liked . Getting a left handed blank is probably the solution I've been searching for . Gonna load the boat from now on :)

My right hand has a firm grip on the rod and my left hand goes around in circles, its a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.

Being ambidextrous, I'm afraid I'm going to have to wait it out for those models to come out. What if I were to buy a lefty and accidentally grab it with my right hand, or vice versa? Oh, the horror!
