I've always been a spin fisherman as well so when I ventured into baitcasters the first thing I had to ponder was, which side of the reel do you want to crank?
For some reason spinning gear is usually left hand crank and baitcasters are right which doesn't work for me....
A Shimano Curado has been all I need but I'm sure an upgrade would be nice.
I'm sure there's good reasons for right or left crank too but old habits die hard...
Good luck with your search!
I had the same issue and bought a left handed Shimano Curado
