>>807955The tangling shit is just annoying. That happens to me with split shots and bobbers. Just the way it is tumbling in the air and landing. The only thing I can think of is what I do with inlines when it is windy: just before the lure is going to land in the water, stop the line in the air. It will stop your cast like a foot short but will straighten everything out before it hits the water and it won't get all tangled.
And the resistance sounds like you are running through that underwater muck. Or maybe mud. But you will normally know when the rig comes out of the water and that stringy algae is all over it. Otherwise that weight is just kinda heavy for the rod, not a big deal if the rod isn't super stiff.
