    Thank you all again for the replies. Between work and the rain I wasn't able to get out until this morning.

    My form was off for sure and I am casting a little farther now but not much. A guy at the lake this morning pretty much said what you guys are telling me, that I need more line on the spool. The reel is rated for 110y of 4lb mono, not sure why that is not enough once it is put on?

    There is also a light sticking point when casting where it seems like the line is getting stuck on edge of the spool.

    Attached is a photo of the reel and line.

    Looks like it needs more line you can use what ever extra line you have 6 to 10 lb and spool it on first this does two things 1 it will fill the spool out and 2 when you need new line it will save your cost of more. Line

    Default spool

    You need way more line than that, use a double uni knot, and add more until it is about nickel thickness from the edge of the spool.

    i have several BPS micro lite rods, 7' to 9'6". I think all of them are med. lite action except for a couple. I cast 1/16 oz with 4 lb. test just fine with them.
