spinning is very easy to get the hang of. bait casting should never have been your first reel cause of the harder learning curve. but is one of the most use reel for pike, musky, bass, etc ... if any thing see if you can hang on to the reel and get a cheap spinning reel like at walmart for $20 bucks i use the shimano ir4000r from meijers here in Michigan for fishing for king salmon. i think out the door it only cost 13-20 bucks depending on were you go. they have three different model in the ir series 2000r, 4000r, and 3000r. get one and a good ugly stick that fits your needs. the hole set up will cost about 40-50 bucks. more then likely the price of that bait casting reel or less for the hole set up.
