    Hey, Kind of a dumb question, but im notcing im having a hell of a time launching any plugs under 2.5oz or so with my 650ssm and 65lb braid on my 11' rod. , just seems like the lack of weight is preventing me from really getting them far. Any suggestions?

    OK, prior to this spring when I made my saltwater fishing debut, I mostly fished small ponds, rivers for bucket mouths, catfish & trout in the Ozarks. I always used about a 6.5' rod and mostly used artificial lures. So slinging bait into the surf with a 10' rod is something I'm still getting...
