Last time I used braided was when spidercast first came out.

Hi, I’ve been looking to purchase a new baitcaster. I bought a mitchel spidercast many years ago wanting to get into baitcasting but gave up because every cast was a birdsnest. Fast forward about 15 years later this summer I purchased a Lews Mach 2 speed spool combo and got the hang of it. Recently purchased a Daiwa Tatula sv but haven’t used it yet due to living in the city. Now I want to get another baitcaster but am confused on what to get due to over reading(?) all the reviews and watching YouTube videos. I was looking at these: Shimano SLX XT Shimano SLX MGL Shimano SLX DC The Curado 70 I know the DCs will help with the birds nests and I only am able to cast from the shores or a dock as I have no boat so I guess distance will be a factor. Any suggestions to a way to go as like I said reading made me more confused than before. Brand loyalty doesn’t factor as I just want a good reel.
