[QUOTE="ilinimud, post: 70759, member: 890"] I agree with Matt. My opinion is to buy a higher quality reel. May sound stupid since you dont know if you like them or not, but i bought a Daiwa Megaforce as my first baitcaster. I had A LOT of birdsnest and the internal workings of the thumb bar started to depress on the cast and it would grind bad. I brought it back, found out Wal-Mart had the Abu Garcia Revo S on sale for 99 bucks, but none of them in my area had them in stock. So i went to Gander Mtn and they matched me the price on it. My luck has been much better on it. The only time i have had a nest is when i switched it to Fireline, but once i got use to it, it was ok. So my long winded answer is to buy a better reel. LOL. I also have a Pinnacle Vision XL that i got off Ebay for 79.99 and i love it! Maybe better than the Abu. [/QUOTE]
