was wondering if anyone can answer a question on baitcasting reels. In shopping around online looking for a new reel for next season I can find all kinds of info on ratio's and retrieval rates etc....but what I really want to know is how well it casts! My old two bearing Abu reel...now junk unfortunately...casted smooth, easy, and fast....distance and accurracy were great...my newer Mitchell and Quantum do not cast near as well as the old abu...what do I look for? How do I know I am getting a smooth casting reel?
