Regards, Dodger.

Late 60,s early 70's sometime, I tried my first cast on a baitcaster. It was like the ones your describing. Made in early 60's with no magnets or frills. First cast, first birdsnest. That was last birdsnest I have had since and and also the one and only cast. I had to cut all the line off to clear it.

Haven't had the desire to try another one since. I imagine they have come a long way since, but still no desire.
