I recently just started fishing again and purchased an Abu Garcia Cardinal 102i / Cherrywood 6'6" Med. Combo. I have a feeling the rod tip is just too soft and casting causes a lot of vibration and affecting the cast distance. Or possibly something else could be causing this issue. I really have to put some "mustard" on my cast to get it out there, and it don't think that's healthy for the rod and or reel.
I have tried my buddies setup, which I think is a MH 6' or 6'6", where the tip is much stiffer, although it's set up with a pflueger president, I only have to put about 15% amount of effort as I do with mine to achieve the same casting distance.
Any suggestions?
