Casting questions

Not really a kayak related topic, but fishing related.

Anyway, i was on a full day trip fishing for yellowtail.

I got a Avet SX reel not long ago, put it on my 8' Shimano Teramar Jig rod, tossing Tady 45, C......i was having hard time get them out far and constantly getting backlash....and at the same time, i am also using a Torium 30 on a 7' Fin-Nor rod, i can cast a Megabit jig so far out there without a single backlash all day, i also using calcutta 400 tossing all kind of little stuff without any problem.

I thought i know how to use a casting reel for the whole time, but not after i was using the Avet, i just can't get it to work....

Is it because lever drag reel is harder to cast than star drag reel? or i just need to do more practice?
