I used it for a bit out in the yard today and I really like it so far. I am fairly new to baitcasters, and I bought this bargain-level off-brand on Amazon, which had good reviews. It came, it seemed nice enough, but I never got a single successful cast out of it. No matter how I adjusted it, it birds nested every time, I could make it nest just by hand pulling line. I thought I was just garbage at baitcasters.
Tossed 50 or so casts today with the brand new Daiwa, all smooth as can be, able to dial the brakes down to 2 and no backlashes at all. Obviously was just the garbage-level reel.
For the spinning reel, I personally don't want to use one because you get cursed out a lot if you do bring one. Apparently it causes a lot more tangles and stuff.
Anyways-
Do you think this outfit would be alright for some fluke/seabass/porgies?

Rod
I plan on using bucktails anywhere from 1 to 5 ounces.
Thoughts?
