Hey fella's, I am starting to realize that my ONE spinning rod setup is holding me back. I love it, but having just one rod and reel is making it hard to keep up with all my bass fishing buddies (I seem to be tying something new onto my rod more often than I am actually fishing)!
I always had an interest in getting to know how to effectively use a baitcaster, and since I have really started to use a lot of plastics, I need something that is a bit more sensitive and less "spongy" than the Ugly Stick I have on my spinning setup so I can horse those bass out of the cabbage. I found this on craigslist and was wondering if it's a good deal. Of course, to me, it SOUNDS like a good deal, but I wanted your opinion's as I am sure someone here has actually used a setup like this:

Also, I am willing to bet that once I get good with this thing, I will probably not want to use the spinning combo much anymore, so I would like to know if this setup could be an all-purpose kind of rig. I like to throw spinnerbaits and plugs, I like frogging, I like fishing whacky worms, texas rigs, and during the mid-day, it's not uncommon to drag a shad rap around the lake or the good ol' Lindy Rig with a shiner minnow for walleye.
Truly, I am completely in the dark about baitcasters so any info would be greatly appreciated!
