Most on the time it doesn’t matter.
But say you were using 1/14 oz Aton Popper and you didn’t want it to sink. If you reel with one hand and crank with the other , the second before hitting the water you set the bale and make a big splash. If you have to change hands you lose that second and the lure goes under the water. It may take you ) or 7 cranks to get it back on top to get it to splash.
But that’s when using a spinning reel
With a bait caster it really doesn’t matter.

Right handed, and I use both. Baits that I want moving as soon as they hit the water are tied on left-hand retrieve reels so I can get my hand on the handle as soon as they land (I cast right handed). Others get tied on rods with right hand retrieve reels.
