If you want to go all out get a Calcutta. Otherwise you could go with a Cardiff or Catala. I don't have any of the those but I have heard they are good.
Practice, practice, practice. You will be frustrated and you will be picking backlashes out - it's part of the game - part of the learning process (and you will also learn how to un-tangle backlashes - how the loops are formed and why they tangle). When I learned I practiced throwing from a pier I found that extra time it takes for the bait to hit the water helped.
When you learn to be proficient at it and discover all of the benefits of casting over spinning you will realize that all the frustration was worth it.
