I use 10.5' and 11' rods with no problem. I am no expert but from reading casting tips here I now "load" my rod before I cast it. what I do is swing my rod forward then back ("loading" the rod) then blast it out there. I use a abu 7500 big game and a 704Z both have full spools of 65# power pro. I cannot believe the extra distance I get from "loading" the rod....the rod is a tool use it to get extra distance.
Also remember that certain plugs such as metal lipped swimmers will get caught up in the wind reducing your distance. Try to cast using a sinker or a jig and see if that makes a difference.
