[ship 4 brains]

I don't know if I am the most uncoordinated person on earth, but I have a hell of a time casting a baitcaster reel without backlashing - EVERY TIME.

I grew up on spinning reels and can cast very well. But everyone I see uses a baitcaster reel, unless they are on the east coast.

Any suggestions or tricks. I spend more time picking out birds nests than fishing.
