the big loop comes from excessive slack when you engage the reel. a common problem with reels with no backstop.
as a experiment hand engage your bail....i almost always do...its a habit from the days went bail springs used to break often

Sorry for all the questions Chub. What is a backstop on a reel? I'll give closing the bail manually a try to see what happens.
As far as the rod goes...it's DEFINATELY soft. There's times I think it's going to snap when casting. I was going to be in the market for a new rod soon anyways. Maybe it's going to be sooner than later.
