Nope - the cast and hold is altogether different. You'll hold the butt of the rod with your left hand, right on the trigger of the seat(if equipped and I recommend it) and right thumb on the spool edge. When retrieving surfstyle, rod butt between your legs, left hand cupping left side of spool and right hand turning handle - real comfortable...
