good all round rod

hey guys,

im thinking of buying a daiwa saltist lever drag 2 speed reel about size 40 or 50, i would be putting 30 or 40 pound line on it. i was just wondering what size rod i should buy.

i would be reef fishing, jigging and trolling from a boat aswell as balloning from shore for small to medium sized sharks.

so i basically need a rod that can handle everything.

i was thinking of a shimano t-curve.

i would have thought a reef fishing/jigging rod would be in the 5'6/6'6 range and a trolling rod 6'/7' (recently have found longer trolling rods are good to guide fish around the boat) while anything for balloning from the shore 8'/9'. hard to get something to fill those shoes, 2 rods may be a better option. also why the saltist and why 2 speed? i have a saltist 40 ldhs and really dont like it to much, for the price i think you can find a better reel, example is saltiga 2sp is not much more bought o/s than the saltist bought locally.
