I just have a question regarding peoples opinions on bait casting reels in general.

I have purchased a Pflueger Trion reel. Gear ratio is 6.3:1. (For basic trout, bass, crappie,etc.)
This wasn't a cheap reel as things go.... but what is up with the difficulty in casting it without having the spool become birds nest?? I have set the internal Centrifugal braking system, so as all six brakes are on to slow the spool down. However, even when throwing it (and) leaving my thumb on the spool slightly, there seems to be no way to avoid a snarl.

Do you people like baitcasting reels compared to a good quality spinning reel?
I am thinking of putting mine out to pasture.

Let me know, and thanks.
Chris
