Default a good baitcasting setup to start with

I asked this once before but im ready to buy one now so lets see what everyone thinks.Im a diabetic and I have neuropathy in my finger tips so cant feel the spool slowing down. I tried to learn how to baitcast a while ago with an Ambassadeur 5000 and a BPS IM7 rod I gave up I couldnt feel the spool and when I tried to slow the spool as the lure hit the water same deal I gave up almost every cast resulted in a birdsnest. I see now that Cabelas offers a prodigy reel with 2 brakes acting in tandem A centrifugal and a magnetic. Is this for real or is it hype. I just ordered a fenwick eagle gt baitcating rod becase I own 2 of their spinning rods and Im more that happy with the rods. I know its going to take a lot of practice but is this reel a good choice or are there other sugesstions out thete? Â*Thanx

Since you are dealing with neuropathy I think a magnetic brake is a good idea-they work better slowing the spool than centrifugal brakes IMO. That Prodigy reel soundl like it would be a good choice.

The prodigy reel is the same as the pinnacle tetra reel.They work well for casting. I happen to have one for sale , got too many reels to use them all. P N J
