i need longer casts

[Anthony]

hey everyone i have a 10 foot shakespeare ugly stik with a penn power graphite 7000 mounted on it. i am not getting nearly enough distance on my casts. my casts are going only 30 yards (if i am lucky) with say a 1 1/2 ounce jig or popper on. i also get the same distance when i through my bait and weight out.i dont know what i am doing wrong. please instruct me!!!!!

i was looking through cabelas and i saw this bait rig that says it can go out like past 200 yards. its called the "breakaway system" it looks good because you set it up so when you cast your bait and hook is attached towards the end of the line and when it lands the hook comes out of the holder and is standing upwards. it looks good but i am worried about if it will look like too much terminal tackle. you tell me??
