These lightweight and very sensitive graphite rods are 7' tall and designed to be used with 15-20# line. They are extremely popular for light inshore fishing for Stripers, Flounder, Snook, Redfish, Tarpon and many other species that you would target while fishing the inside. The Calcutta 400, Avet SX and the Penn 965 are all great choices with this rod. The 7' length is great for casting lures or for throwing baits.
