I would go longer if you can. The 8 foot will help at jetties.
The weight rating is really more about the size of lure or bait you’re throwing and less about the size of the fish.
I haven’t caught a 30+ in a while but I caught several 28 and 29 last fall, with a medium action rod.
I don’t fish jetties though.
If you’re throwing 6oz Sputnik sinkers, you need something beefy.
I’ve got a MH Penn Persuit w/4000 reel that’s great for shrimp and popping corks. It’s.the meat stick.
I kinda work backwards.
1a) decide where you’re fishing
1b) decide what you’re fishing for
These could switch places.
2) find an effective bait/technique for those conditions
3) pick the rod and reel that suits it
