new surf/beach rod suggestions

[Ojay Samson]

hello raiders, this is a copy paste from another thread i tried to hijack, i figured i'd make my own thread

i am in the market for a new replacement rod for my old shimano taipan 12ft beach rod. i would mostly be using it on trying to catch jewfish and alike from wharves around the harbour. the reel i would be using for it would be a shimano baitrunner 8000D spooled up with 50lb power pro braid (yes i know, overboard with the lb but i also use this reel for offshore kingfish fishing & ive only got the 1 spool).

i currently only have 2 rods im looking at atm, them being the:

- Penn Slammer 1102 Spin

Length(imperial): 11'

Length(metric): 3.30m

Pieces: 2/P

Rating: 6-15kg

Casting weight(g): 56-170g

Blank: Clear solid tip

Guides: Fuji

NB: the reason for looking at this is because i already have Slammer 702 st matched up to an abu garcia soron stx20, & the Slammer 701 gbh 10-15kg rod for offshore fishing & they have never faulted me yet.

- Shimano Endura 12' Surf Rod 2 piece, 12ft, 6-10 kg.

NB: its a clearout rod from a fishing store at the moment.

my question is, can anyone give me feedback on the 2 said rods i have mentioned in terms of quality and longevidy etc. also if there are any other rods i should be looking at but have missed, please let me know...my price range is somewhere around the $100 range so no snyder glas etc.

Maybe i've misread this but if you are fishing from wharves in the harbour why would you want or need a 12ft beach rod?? Sounds like major overkill to me and i can only think it would be a pain in the arse to cast and land fish with pylons and stuff all over the place.
