[quote rw02kr43]I tried out my new combo today. I spooled on some 8# braid that I had and made a few casts with a heavier spinnerbait. So far my casts are terrible. They go about 20' out and seem to fall straight down. I have had no problem at all with backup or anything. The line lays down perfectly. It's just my aim and distance is terrible. What am I doing wrong?

Oh, a baitcast...Whoops. Haha. I have a little experience with baitcast, not a whole lot. But REALLY pay attention to lurker's warning of not backing up too much. Those backlashes are a pain in the you know what. I find it helps me if I pa more attention to the reel than my cast hitting the water, that way if I see it start to backlash I can stop it immediately.
