Ugly Stik Carbon Inshore or St. Croix Triumph?

I need a rod for throwing smaller plugs and 1 oz swimbaits off a jetty for blues and Stripers, Do you guys have any input on these options? I don't find either of the price tags attractive but I do think both rods would be a good fit. Never actually bought a nice rod like a St. Croix and just use cheaper end stuff.

I plan to pair it with a Penn pursuit 5k (Maybe smaller?) with 20lb braid ( I love my PENNs)

Rod will be 7' MH Fast

Any changes, recommendations, input, etc is welcome!
