I had my first baitcaster given to me the other day and I havnt been able to find very much stuff about it. It's a Ardent Horizon lsu reel. I've always used spinning reels so I have no experience in the baitcaster category. Is this a decent reel?  Also is there any upgrades I could do to make better? 

Id learn how to use it before thinking about upgrading it.

I have a friend that fishes Ardent reels and likes them.  Put some line on it and give it a cast. Check out some of Glenn's casting a baitcaster videos on youtube or here
