you say that you are using a multiplier rod and reel do you mean a boat rod -that is a short (7feet or there abouts) and a boat multipier reel orare you using a beach rod (12-13feet long) that has been set up for a casting multipier reel? if you are using the first set up and managing to cast any distance (over 25yards) i take my hat off to you but you are still doing it all wrong!!!! what you need is the second set up (only personally i would not use a multiplier if you are starting out, go for a fixed spool)and do not forget a shock leader of about 50-60lb breaking strain or you could find yourself seriously hurting someone!
