[QUOTE="Musky Tom, post: 182024, member: 4824"] I'll second the Citica, love it as much as my Curados Couple tips when starting out with a baitcaster. First, buy cheaper mono till you learn how not to get backlashes Second, untill you get the knack for using a baitcaster, keep all brakes on and tension tight...when you start getting the hang of it, begin loosening the tension and taking off a brake, 1 brake at a time Third, before you begin to cast, peel off as much line as you would cast out...then place a strip of tape over the line on the spool, then wind in your line...that way when you cast, if you backlash, it'll only go as far as the tape Good luck Tom [/QUOTE]
