Lite lure weights and trying to cast really long distances can cause problems, especially if you "wrist snap cast". I'm with Happycaster on this one ... side arm cast if you can, or at least make your overhead casts a "smooth motion" deal. Also watch for line twist & take the appropriate measures to get those twists out. Plus, make sure your braid is going on the reel spool kinda tight. Loose loops of line around the spool will also cause you problems if not alleviated in short order.
