Its probable that if your doing the otg properly you will be generating more power with less effort and thats something your reel is not set for . Add more mags/ thicker oil , keep the reel controllable , forget about distance its the technique you need to build and you cant do that if your unpicking a birdie everycast . As your technique gets better the distance will come and then start tinkering with your reel settings for maximum distance .
The offer still stands .

i went down down the beach earlier to practice i think i have cracked it mate from the first cast i was casting further than i used to im not sure how far i can cast but i think its far enough to fish from the beach
