Kev, maybe you are not using compatible equipment. You should be able to cast more than 100 feet with a cecent size plug or jig.

The rod should have a reel that balances well with it and use a line within the rating for the rod. If the rod is rated for 3-6 oz plugs and you are trying to cast 1-2 oz. , it will not load the rod to help catapult so to speak the plug out when you cast.
Something must not be right.

Best thing to do is ask questions out on the beach or go with someone from a club if you join one, you should be able to find someone willing to get you headed in the right direction.
