Its not that bad. Just give yourself a little time and some extra line. Go with a heavier weight that is aerodynamic. A polaris or pencil is a good start, a cheap one just in case. Set the tensioner so the lure just starts to drop when you remove your thumb. Keep your thumb on the spool, just barely, and if you feel the line building up apply more pressure before it gets outta control. Soon you will not need your thumb until the moment the plug is getting ready to hit the water.
