light lures are meant for spinning reels..you want to use baitcasters for heavier baits like bass jigs, spinnerbaits, swimbaits.also, don't put your favorite line on your reel until you get the hang of it. it was a waste of nice braid for me when I first got my baitcaster.loland some people use plastic lures on baitcasters..i personally favor the spinning reel on those kinda baits.and the reason your lizard is not casting is because, you messed up the line in the reel with all the backlashes. it happens to everyone at first..even the pros.

Actually they have specilized small baitcasters that are expensive but can handle 2 pound test line.
 
Do you understand how to control the speed with your thumb? I don't believe in using brakes and all that fancy stuff.

I dont remember NOT being able to use baitcasters.

Im not going to repost what every else is saying, but another tip if you want to cast lighter lures is to ue a longer rod with a faster tip.
