Just start out on your baitcaster with the controls set tightly so you'll minimize casting distance but also minimize backlash chances. As you get used to it, loosen the controls and see how you do. Baitcasting isn't nearly as difficult as some people make it out to be. And for what it's worth, the backlashes I had were not nearly as bad as the spinning reel tangles that happen from time to time.

For spinning would use 8lb P-Line Flurocarbon

Baitcasters: 12-15lb P-Line Fluorocarbon or Evolution.

For help on bait casting go to Reel Mechanic's web site. He has an excellant tutorial.
