hi mate, i was in the same boat as u about a month back, i was able to get hold of a abu 6500 reel on the cheap so i did. It was pritty easy to get the hang of, but i think this is due to the mag brakes.
Ive know bought a daiwa sl2osh for use on the beach abd this is slightly harder to use, but iim getting there. It takes practice to lay the line on the reel correctly but i would recommend it, as my casting is allot better. BUt be warned if u'r cast isnt smooth u will get allot of problems.
hope this helps.
