Baitcasting Reels...

Sorry for all my questions but I'm anxious to learn. The more the better I guess. I'm currently using a Shimano 9$ walmart open bail spinning reel and I was thinking of switching too a bait casting reel. My question is.... Is it worth it? I hear ups and downs too it the biggest concern is backlash. But I also hear that once you get the hang of using the break system on them and learn too use them properly then your golden. I don't see many spinning reels that are good for 12 pound and I have to re spool mine at least 3 times before it decides too work (my reel is very temperamental I guess) I'm looking too spend anywhere from 50-150$.. I also do not have a rod that has the little trigger on it to rest your index finger, not sure if that really makes a difference or its just a comfort thing but any tips,advice, and suggestions are greatly appreciated
