okay thanks ill do that

at the moment i don't have any plain 3/4oz weights to practice but could i just tie to football head onto the line and practice like that or would that cause more issue tangling or twisting the line?

the daiwia is a 7'0 heavy action rod while the abu garcia black max is a 7'0 medium heavy with 10 fluorocarbon. and like you said i also have expanded and fly fish for trout and panfish and some bass but never caught much

i have a daiwa aird baitcast combo with 30 pound braid on and an abugarcia blackmail combo igot when my buddy told me to try them and i follow videos online and maybe its me but i just can't get the hang of it i think its more me then the reels. i find trouble in not knowing how much tension to keep on the spool during the cast and that may be why i get inconsistent casts

i currently have two bait casters that i just can't get the hang of using but i was wondering is there really a big advantage of using a bait caster over a spinning setup because it really comes down to whats in the water to catch the fish not the rod? i keep trying and just can't get used to a bait caster and have 4 spinning setups i use for bass so i think i can get away with just using them and save the headaches.
