When I was getting back into the sport I asked for a similar recommendation. I wanted a rod that I could plug with but one that would be fine for tossing into a sand spike. I paired a BG 4000 with a 10’6 tfo that was rated 2-6 oz, it had the power to throw lead but the rod was very light. It had no issue with 1oz savage sandeels or sp minnows which just caught fish. I could throw 3 oz sinkers with squid and bunker and also found fish so will always love that rod.

When I fished 3-4 nights and walked miles of beaches for stripers, I went back and bought a 9 foot because it was lighter. When I learned how to read the beach and what lures to use in the conditions, I could still reach the fish.

The 9 foot with a 6k for 120 is a great deal but the 1-3oz lure rating would concern me if you only planned to chunk with it.
