I started with a used 140 what seems like a zillion years ago. Never casted pluds with it. It's still my go-to bait reel. If I was just starting, I'd go with the 7000c3. I tried my brother Jim's and it's sweet. If I wasn't so cheap, I'd buy one myself. As for burned thumbs, wet the line. Learned that after many, many "BBQs".
