You may have better luck with the Whip cast. I find that a lot better on casting the heavier Clousers, Saltwater Streamers and some of the bigger Shrimp flies that I use for Bass and Saltwater species of fish.
Carefully strip out lots of line and carefully lay it out in your stripping apron. Let the mouse hang down about half the length of the rod and whip it out in a straight line. Be sure not to disturb the line as it uncoils from the area that you pre-stripped.
I designed this cast for heavier firing artillery from a fly rod. It eliminates the need to false cast and when you practice it enough, you will be throwing 100+ foot casts in no time at all.
This cast is more effective than the spay cast for heavier flies.[cool]
