by the sounds of it, they dont necessarily want you to go with a round baitcaster as much as they want you to go with one of their more expensive models... as salesman its their job to try to sell you into buying something you dont necessarily need.. heck, my dad regularly lands 27 inch carp on a $15 spincast reel, ive gotten them atleast that size, in rivers on a spinning reel i got in a combo kit for $20
so id be quite cautious if theyre trying to talk you into a $250-$300 reel especially when youre not even sure you want to stick with it.. i guess BCX or black max if you wanted abu garcia, but shakespeare makes some really inexpensive round and low profile baitcasters, and then theres always the option of selling the reel after youve used it if you dont like it
