What size plastic were you using and the size of the jig head?

It is the same as you said 1/8 and 4 inch plastic.
But it did not feel heavy enough and I can't cast far with it.

Hmmm I don't know what to say. I don't have any trouble getting distance with it. I mean it's not a huge cast but I'm happy with the distance. Maybe you should upgrade the jig head then to say a 1/6?

It's still ok if I use this jig head on the same plastic?

Yes it shouldn't be a problem mate. You should be able to get more distance but remember it will sink faster.

You shouldn't have any problems getting enough distance with that but if you do and distance is what you are worried about a metal might be better for you :)

I will try both and see what I like better.
But do you know why I can't get much distance but you say you can?

It's hard to say without being there but there could be a number of things mate. Maybe your casting method? Could also be your line type and quality. Are you using braid line?
