Properly tuning the reel to the weight is the most important thing i found i could do. also keep a thumb on the spool or you'll kill yourself with backlashes.
also never just buy a bait caster and try to go out with it. spend some time practicing with some cheap mono on a football or soccer field. when i was learning to cast the big level winds i use for sturgeon i spent maybe 3 or 4 hours practicing and by the end i could hit hula hoops all the way out to 75 yards and if i really wind up i can toss stuff 100 yrds. but i have been using bait casters for years now for salmon and steel heads
