Tom,
One other accessory you might want to consider picking up is a stripping basket. It will likely improve your casting distance, reduce tangles and keep your line from picking up seaweed. They are a good line management tool. Not everyone is a fan of them, but I personally won't hit the beach without mine.

Parker,
Pay for a casting lesson and learn to double haul. It would be good money spent. Then you can have more fun with the ho's on your lighter 6 wt.
