rod advice

hi all

I have recently bought a new pfleuger salt and i am looking for a rod to match it up with

I usually fish the rocks or beaches for small sharks and rays, mulloway and tailor

does anybody have any ideas looking for something around 150 dollars in the 8-10ft range?

Don't want something with a hard action, as I want to baitcast but also want something with enough grunt to handle some big fish.

I've heard people talking about balancing rods and reels but need a bit of advice in this area.

cheers alex
