Patrick when I first started fishing the surf my conventionals were Penn squidders and jigmasters. Like the reel you tried they don't have much of a anti-reverse but try to get the "play" out of the spool by tighting the silver knob on the side. You should have just a little side play. Don't fill the spool up full you are better to fill it to a little more than 3/4. Use your thumb for a brake on the side of the spool not the line. Try not to overcasy just educate your thumb. If you can learn to cast that reel the others are much easier. Good luck!
