what am i doing wrong

i've been having trouble getting good casting distance. I'm using a 9' rod for plugs and a 10' rod for bait. The 9' is rated 1-5 but the sweet spot is about 3. The 10' is rated 4-8. I'm using lead in that range and still am not getting good casting distance. the reels are designed for the surf-light wieght-large core-shallow spool-tall spool-metal spool lip. im using the technique like loostening the lug nuts on a tire, pulling down hard with the left hand while punching hard withthe right. I'm using 20 pound mono. is there any thing i can do besides using braid?
Please help.
