Pin them deeper and dont crack your rod to hard use a one motion cast with no jolt right at the end, a softer tip rod would help with this. I can cast yakkas on my beach rod about 60m so you should have no problem getting that, i can get strip baits out much further, try using yakka fillets, they work a treat, even butterflied, or if you are worried make a two hook rig and opin the second hook after its anal fin. that works too.
