On bait casters I think they are marked Right or left-hand retrieve. 

Spinning reels are referenced that way too.  Everything I use is left hand retrieve.   Never understood switching hands after casting.   🤷‍♂️

I crank the reel with my right hand regardless of whether it's a baitcaster, spinning rig, or fly rod.     In my mind that means that the REEL is a right-handed reel. But Noooooo 🤷‍♂️ 

 

Just to keep this ON TOPIC.....if you have Bone Cancer it is probably because you fished right-handed all of your life....with a LEFT HANDED reel.   So you probably have brain cancer too.

Correct.  That’s a right hand retrieve reel.  I crank them with my left hand.  No switching hands after I cast with my right.  I think it’s you😂

The rod hand determines the name of the reel, you are holding the rods in your left hand, therefore you are left handed (for this purpose) and that makes the RHW reels left hand reels. For right handed people (holding the rod in the right hand) the LHW reels have the crank on the left side, so these reels made for right handed people are called "right hand reels". Then to add more confusion bait casting and spin casting  reels are mounted upside down on the rods.
