Kool Stop Salmon pads. Lower the straddle cable. Make sure your braking surfaces on the rims are clean. Lightly sand your brake pads periodically to get rid of the "glaze" (gets worse when braking in wet conditions).
If that doesn't work, try some type of mini v brakes (shorter arms designed to work with road levers). Just make sure they will stand off enough from your tires and fenders.
