OP here again:
Thanks again for the explanation and the diagram, it makes a lot of sense (though I still have to actually try it, of course).
If you are willing to offer to show me the basics at McLaren I will definitely take you up on that and would compensate you for your time (cash or trade); we can work out the details via private message if you are serious about that.
In another post you recommended the DRAGONtail Shadowfire: if I was to order this set: https://www.amazon.com/DRAGONtail-Tenkara-Shadowfire-Complete-Starter/dp/B00N36YY1O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1503095765&sr=8-3&keywords=tenkara, what else do you think I would need to get started.
Again, thank you for taking your time to explain this stuff to someone you is completely clueless; I really appreciate it!
