It sounds to me like there are a few problems. First , and others have already said it , you need practice. Hate to say it but 30 yards with a 10 foot pole is miserable. You need someone who is reasonably good to take a lokk at you while casting. My guess is its a timing issue.
Next , the line/lure weight is not a good match. Try switching to 17 lb test for the 1.5 OZ lure and try the 17 lb with a 3 OZ jig. If you can get the heavy jig out there , its probably the 25 lb test. If even with light line and a heavy jig yu can't get the thing to fly , then its back on you for practice. Sometimes if you just don't have the action right , you can't get the rod to load up or your release is off and even a perfect set up will give you short casts.
Anyway , I would advise you to get someone who is pretty good at casting to watch you and try your rig. As I stated , 30 yards with a ten foot pole is miserable and someone with some experience should be able to zero in on the problem pretty quickly.
