I'm no help. I get some of the same issues. I thought it was just me! I usually stick to shorter casts anyway, as I can tangle anything!!! [blush][blush]
If I am casting longer, sometimes I work the distance out by casting out to the side, then stripping out more line and recasting to where I want it.
If you have been trolling with your line, it may have twists that make it even more prone to tangling, and even if you haven't trolled, twists seem to happen over time.
I have found that sometimes if my line has gotten twists in it, then I remove any fly and drag it behind me in the water for a while. --- I once wrapped my line on my electric motor and I thought it was lost -- it was so twisted up, but dragging it relaxed it right out.
