What rod for shark and giant stingray fishing? - Disturbed - 07-31-2011

Hello all.

I'm wondering what rod I should use when fishing for shark and giant stringray. I found a quite cheap rod with 60lb-100lb casting weight (test?) called Fladen Maxximus Solid Carbon 7ft Boat Rod. Would this rod be good enough for fishing for these big fish? I would like to get a reply asap as there are not many of these rods available anymore for a cheap price, so if it is good enough I will order it (or not) as soon as I get a reply. Otherwise, please recommend me a rod for an okay price, not too expensive, not too cheap.

A 60-100 class rod is fine for sharks and rays. How do you intend on fishing for them? (beach, pier, or boat?)
