The longer rods are better if you are casting from shore and need to cast past the active surf line. Medium action is preferred for the surf too.
8 to 9 foot rods are good from a pier although 7feet is plenty. They pier is already close to the zone that you want to be in.
When I am fishing from the piers here in Cali, and decide to target Shark, I like to use the Penn 320 GTI. It is also a levelwind and about the size of the Penn 3/0 reel.
Now I use more Okuma. They have the Convector series that has levelwind and holds plenty of line.[cool]
