I'll just jump in here for a few words
Hey Tude - Good input again but I'm glad you're not verbose! Not enough storage memory on the forum!!! LOL
Would you believe, I actually started with an old metal casting rod and reel 60 years ago!!! The rod was the type if you bent it too far it had a permanent bend in it until you bent it back. The reel was a Shackespear, might still have it stashed some where. I do remember becoming very adept to thumbing for control of back lash and distance, probably similar to the one you describe but even older. I imagine the equipment is a world of difference now.
For now, Ill stick to what I have, but when I get a few bucks that is burning a hole in my pocket I might try it. I'll probably get a fish finder first!!!
