When looking for a bait caster look at all metal frame one piece.
How to learn to cast???
This is about the easiest way...
After you get your reel get some CHEAP line in 30 lb and some weights in 3/4oz and 1/2 oz and 3/8 oz...
Find some room to cast a lawn with room, place a target for easy casting, then hold your rod (fishing rod) at about 10' o clock with the 3/4 weight on and adjust the reel so as when you push the button the weight will fall slowly to the ground and the reel spool stops when the weight dose...
Now try to cast past your target but with your thumb stop the spool so the weight falls on the target...(do not try to let the weight hit the target before you stop the weight in the air)
When you can hit your target five times in a roll with out a back lass do the same with the 1/2 oz and so on ...
When you can do the casting with all three weights the change lines to 15lb or 14lb and do the above steps again, then put on what line and lure weight you want to use and make a few more cast (don't forget to adjust the reel for each weight) ....
Now go fishing, and good luck...
