What's your target species? The 8ft Calstar 270H mentioned above is a great general rod, though IMO too heavy for bass (except for surface iron and swimbaits). For most bass fishing I like something like a bass rod #15-30, mine's a Shimano Convergence. I use either a Curado 200 or Cardiff 200 with 6-12lb line. Shimano has amazing customer service, BTW.

Get a good bass rod setup like a mentioned and the 8ft Calstar 270H with something like the Torium 16 and you'll be set for anything inshore.
