I use Daiwa and have only used mag brakes but I'm sure any reel, properly adjusted to the lure and wind conditions would work just as well.
I do agree if its your first BC fill it with mono if anything happens that you have to cut ur line to get birdnests out then it won't be that harsh on your wallet XD
the caenan is just your normal centri brake reel just put the brakes a lil higher just to get use to how it feels once your confident enough you can slowly turn down the brakes a lil.
Best way to learn i personally would recommend u go a relatively big body of water just cast it out look where ur lure is and stop the spool before it lands in the water , yes i know some people say " oh if you have the setting right you dont have it thumb it!" ye may be true but you dont get alot of distance that way. Once you get used to thumbing the spool you turn brakes even lower experiment around see what setting you like. Kinda comes down to personal taste some like to tighten their spool tension according to lure weight some like it as loose as possible its all up to you.
PS doesnt the stephano not have any brakes? or am i wrong
-Grey
Line running out is a rare thing unless you are spooling really thick line and casting really heavy stuff like really really heavy stuff
I'm not sure about the stephano tho to my knowledge it has no brakes of any kind cause it was developed for light jigging? i think? and it has rounded knobs instead of flat ones right? but then again i could be mistaken so dun take my word for it if my description doesnt match XD
If it really has no brakes i wouldn't bother trying to cast it unless u have some sort of magical touch or have alot of experience on casting BC
