Check your brakes. I generally run two on... If they're set, try flushing the bearings or replacing them with some better bearings. All of mine have casted very well straight out of the box.

I had 4 Curado 51E's, and I agree...they stink at distance casting heavier stuff.
Great reel for plastics and 1/4 oz hardbaits though.
I get a lot better distance out of my Curado 101D's than the Curado 51's ever gave.
Not too often that I use those for distance casting say a 1/2 oz trap, but still.

Flush the spool bearings and reoil very lightly. Shimano's usually come with a light grease on the bearings that really limits casting distance. My 51E is a casting machine. It does really well with light stuff.
