Yup. The truth is, it hasn't taken me long to get used to it. I have got the casting down. My thumb seems to be a natural. I have good accuracy already. I have had a few backlashes, even a couple of nests. I even had two big nests this morning from banging off the underside of a bridge, but I have been able to get them all out in short order with no loss of line. BTW: I switched over to 30lb braid, and it is way better than the mono, plus I got most of my beloved sensitivity back that I was so used to from my UL rig.

And that brings me to the UL rig. Oh man, you guys have got to tell me they make a UL bait caster! I already can't stand using my spinning gear. I am heart broken. I loved, LOVED, that UL rod & reel. Now I don't even want to look at it. I am actually considering a spin cast reel for UL stuff. I just don't want to use the spinner. It feels so awkward now. I just don't know what to think. I don't want to give up using UL tackle. I love it, but I don't know if I can use that reel after the caster.
