A baitcaster can handle light weight, it just takes the practice to be able to do it. For me, the most helpful thing has been to always keep a fluid motion and tension in my cast. If there is any breaks in tension between the initial fling and release, a birds nest often results. It's the sudden starts or stops of unregulated speed that cause the spool to release more line than is going out of the reel itself. I guess I could say that I cast with more of a swoop than a flick if that makes any sense.
