The lure may be too small for that rod. I know those Ugly Stiks are big beefy things. Try to use something in the 2 1/2oz or greater range. Be careful not to go too heavy, because the results can be the same as not enough. Look on the rod, and there should be recomended lure and line weights. Stay within those guidelines to start, and experiment from there.
If you are still not getting out further with bait and weight, then look at your line size. 15-25 pound test mono should work well. Also have someone watch your technique, and where you are releasing the line in the cast.
