Walleyepaul,
I purchased a Garcia Ambaseur (sp) a few years ago and it really sucks for casting. I know some of the guys will disagree, but I hate it. It does not cast well at all (POS). It makes an OK trolling or mack jigging reel, but mostly it just gathers dust. You really should consider the Quantum Accurist ACS PT that Curtisfish mentioned above. It is extremely forgiving on anglers just starting out with casting reels. Perhaps one of the local sporting goods stores will let you cast a few different models before you purchase one. Again, I do a lot of casting reel fishing and my Ambaseur absolutely sucks. Just my $.02
Good Fishing, Kayote
