Thoughts on left and right hand reel seats?

Is Megabass the only company that had a left and a right hand ROD? I'm curious if there is any sort of benefit to it or if it just ends up being an overthought process. Any thoughts??

I've never heard of it, do you mean the reel seat actually has grooves cut into it a specific way? When I spiral wrap I either go left or right based on it being left or right handed. That's as far as I've heard.

The Megabass Arms rods (their $1k rods) had left or right hand grips... There were grooves in the handle made specifically for one or the other hand, unless I am mistaken. I am looking at designing some reel seats myself and am curious if that would be worth it.

Megabass goes above and beyond when it comes to ingenuity. I've never heard of this option until now

Would be interesting to build one and give it a try. You might either love it or hate it
