surfcasting rods

I went striper fishing off Popham Beach Maine yesterday. Fished the last 2 hours of incoming tide and found I could not get my bait out to the breaking waves - very long distance of turbulent very shallow water between shore and breakers. Tried testing distance on dry ground with my 12' Ugly Stick, 3 ounce sinker and 20 pound test on spinning reel and measured 165 feet. Is this about what one can expect with this outfit? Are there better choices for this type of fishing? How much distance can one expect with more suitable equipment?
