Go for it....Pick up a used penn 140 squidder load it with 30lb Ande and get a used rod that throws about 2-6 oz,,,great chunking outfit or snot flinger...Practice with a 3oz plug...popper or pencil popper cast nice....not a danny.....Good thing about a 140 you can slip the spool out the side to untangle your mess.. After a pound of line you will be good..Now If you really like conventional after that you can start looking at high end stuff...
good luck....you can do it !!
