Have you tried increasing the length of the line - from tip to lure - by about a foot to 18" more than used on a glass rod ----- and then use that length to load the graphite rod more by starting the cast sequence with the rod pointing in front of you and a bit more to the side............ similar to the way one "loads" up a fly rod just prior to the back swing and then again before the final thrust forward?

Helps me a lot.

OT

I tried that a few days ago at the pier actually. I got a more distance out of my hat, lunch, and gloves that were in a plastic bag behind me than I did with my lure.

See!

It works.......!!!!!!!!

........ get any hits on yer lunch?

I'll stay away from the "hat trick" jokes................. smile
