[size 2][font "comic sans ms"]I too picked up my first baitcast rod and reel earlier this year. Still learning the little quirks but I have found they're not made for light tackle or at least I haven't had much luck at the smaller stuff. I ended up tossing out the typical advice of tightening up on the spool (slow the spool rotation). I found it a whole lot easier (for me) to just let the spool freewheel. My method takes a lot of thumb practice. But that's what worked for me, may not work for others. I would agree with DDR and not to go "cheap".
Take care,
David
