Hi,

I'm looking to make the switch to throwing my plastics with a baitcaster. I'm freshwater finesse bass fishing and throwing weightless worms (Roboworms and similar light worms) , Sencos, and various Creatures. I do most of my fishing in the city lakes and need to be able to cast far to get into some of my target areas.

I'm looking to spend less than $200. I'd love to get a Shimano Core 51 (left handed), but I'm looking to stay on a budget.

I've read up on the Revo STX and they sound good. I've used a Revo S in the past for throwing some top water stuff and was happy with it, but I want something with easier adjustments.

I'd be very interested in some other reels close to the Shimano 50 series size, but would like to get some input.

Thanks in advance.
Brian
