Question: ok, here is my setup, 12' daiwa beef stick surf rod, med action, 20lb line on a spinning reel and a 40 lb shock leader, 3oz weight, i'm not even able to cast out 100 yards, what the heck am i doing wrong?
Answer: I use the pendulum for surf fishing and let my line out about 2/3 rd's the length of my rod for my best distances.I use a 3 count and cast on 3rd swing to load my rod but you rely on timing for your longest cast so just go and practise. My rods are - Ugly Stiks 8 from 11 to 12 foot and 2 custom rods in 12'6" and 14'! Reels - Eagle claw beast,Mitchell 7500,Okuma 80,ABU 7000! Lines are from 12lb mono to 40lb braid! I am not sure of the tip action of your rod but a softer tip helps load your rod for long cast but it sounds like you have a good set up and should be able to reach 100 to 135 yards with it! When I lived in Ft.Pierce,Fl. we had little compitions on the beach for distance and I could reach 175 yds with fishing tackle.So just keep up and practise,good luck!
