Go 2.5 OZ or more. Polaris styles usually cast further than straight sided Atom styles but Atom styles can cast that far. Use braid as mentioned. I think you need the longest rod you can handle. Now if you cannot handle a very long rod you will lose distance but as long as you can handle it , the longer the rod the longer the cast. I think 11 feet is optimum but I use 12 footers for that sort of distance need except when casting heavier jigs , then I use 10 or 11 footers.

Get the timing down. Timing will get you more distance improvement than casting harder. Learn to use a rather long casting tail , at least 4 feet and 6 or more if you learn how.
