I would reccomend something longer for shore casting, anything 10 or 12 feet long with a heavy action good for at least 30lb line will work. I've got a 10ft ugly stick with some cheap 50lb braid I take take to work to cast off the the deck after hours while at anchor. It'll does the job with soft bait or what we usually use up here for rock fish and ling cod Buzz bombs.
