I've recently started toying with a c-rig...yes i know crazy. My weight is 5/8 oz. And when i cast a lot of times my plastic, be it craw, worm, or swimbait, goes further than my weight. Am i missing something or is this normal? My lure is going approximately 35-45 yards amd my weight is usually 7-10 yards short of that. Any help appreciated.

You need to slow down your casting motion, more of a lob cast instead of whipping the rod fast and your weight should stay near the stopper.
