[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 176338, member: 4391"] Newer reels with good brakes will be easier to learn with for most people. If they backlash on you don't lose all confidence just buy a newer reel. The best tip I could ever give someone starting out with baitcasting is to start with a heavy weight. Next, the key to no backlashes is NO slack in your line. A spinning rod cast can get away with some slack. The snap cast with a spinning rod, is a surefire way to get a backlash with baitcasting. I've ready of people having trouble, and I must say, that those two things are the key. I learned to fish baitcasters when I was 11 years old, with a 5500 C3 Abu Garcia. We always musky fished then so I was always throwing heavy baits. I was the 3rd person in the boat so I fished in the middle, and had to throw overhead. To do so meant the line always had tension.
