Need some direction/tips

practice a lot with that bait caster it has a different feel to it than a spinning reel i made the jump and i almost wanted to go back to the spinning but i would practice casting and setting the tension and the braking system to minimize the backlash on the reel no matter how hard i tried to cast.

here is a link to a video that shows a way to get rid of the backlash or birds nest if it happens to you.

good luck with your caster.

also as a rule of thumb use dark plastics for cloudy day and lighter plastics on clear days.

also if the water has low visibility stay with the darker plastics even if you can only see about a couple of feet.

keep us posted on how your new gear works out for you.
