Man I thought I was gonna be a hotshot too. My last bait caster, my only one before this new one, was not a great reel. It didn't cast far, and I think it was pretty old when I got it. But one thing about it was, I never backlashed it. I wish I could remember what it was.

At any rate, I did get some nice casts off yesterday. But I think I will keep the spool cranked down for a bit.
