If your only getting a 25 ‘ cast.
Make certain that you have the head of your weight forward line out of the rod tip.
You’ve got the tip of the fly line leading into the belly or head of fly line then on to the running line then on to your backing.
Pull the fly line out by hand and watch from the tip where it’s goes to the fat part and when the fat part goes skinny again this is what you want just out of the tip of your rod.
Learn to double haul.. increases line speed resulting in distance.
Keep a clean fly line.
A heavier bellied fly line helps cast bigger flys. I use SA titan taper.
Thumb on top, keep reel parallel to forearm resulting in u using the spine of rod not the side of rod. More power.
