hi everyone, thanks for any input. i'm new to really fishing, and i'm really getting into it. I fish on a small lake in northwestern wi. I'm looking for an inexpensive way to get into a nice rod and reel combo. The spinner reel i have now constantly gets tangled when i reel in, its annoying. plus when i try to cast a plastic it wont cast far. we also fish northern in the lake, so i'm looking for something that would hold up with both. also, whats the benefits, cons to baitcasters, spinners and the enclosed ones? thanks, please try to keep the "lingo" to a minimum, or i'll get lost, lol
