Rod-n-Reel Darts

Mr Larry,
Watched the episode yesterday where you were in Louisiana and at the end the group was enjoying a seafood feast.
What really caught my attention was the dart game using fishing tackle. Now, I've played the pitching game at buckets using spinning gear (I can backlash a roll of toilet paper) but putting sharp pointy objects into a wall, well, that seems to be the ultimate.
Before I go planting a dart in the middle of my forehead because of ignorance, I'd like some information from a player of this game.
Were ya'll using slow action rods? I have a feeling that fast action rods will be a little harder to control.
Braid or mono? What happens if one uses a baitcaster and there's a backlash? Does the dart come back towards the caster like a heat seeking missile?
Will holding the dart in ones hand to load the rod instead of stepping on it be like hitting from the ladies tee box?
Thanks.
