I agree with the lighter line approach but it's only part of the system. User a little longer rod with a lighter tip. Not sloppy or whippy, but a medium or medium light rod with a fast action should load nicely. Also, make sure you're using a large enough reel. A 1500 series reel is nice and light but the smaller spool does not allow line to peel off quickly and can shorten your casts.
I fish a 7' medium power, extra fast action rod with 2500 Daiwa reel, loaded with 8lb line. I can throw small to larger baits pretty far, and the larger spool allows the line to fly off the reel with minimal wind knots.
