Baitcaster ?'s

[Lonewolf]

Howdy all,

I am not "new" to fishing. I have been fishing ever since I can remember. My dad was a great fisherman. But, I have virtually no baitcaster skills. I have been getting back into Bass fishing from a 7 hear hiatus(where all I fished was Catfish) and have been using jerk baits and other soft plastics. I have to work pretty hard to keep the line tight as the line recovery is pretty slow with my old Eagle Claw and Quantum open faced reels. So I am looking for another reel and decided to try a baitcaster. Can anyone recommend a good reasonably priced reel? I have an old Abu Garcia Black Max thats been sitting in the garage for about five years. I strung it up and have been practicing, but I want one of the low profile models. I mainly fish small lakes and ponds from shore or a small boat with heavy cover.


Thanks
