Too little information
Bait or lures? Wading or boat? Braid or mono? There's hundreds of choices a few are best.

I'm sure others that use high dollar custom rods will disagree but....

I typically use a 7' medium action Ugly Stik. We have landed many many redfish in the 40" + range and specs, drum etc..

They work well for lures, bottom fishing, popping cork rigs etc... Just a good all around rod that doesn't break the bank.

They are not real expensive usually $40-$60
Just my opinion....for what it's worth

^ There is a lot to say for this.

I use a Falcon Coastal, though.

I recommend the Falcon Coastal 7' - 7'6" Medium action depending on boat vs. bank/pier fishing. I personally like the 7'6" for all around use: a single/double drop leader with 3/0 - 4/0 hooks and 1 to 1 1/2 ounce sinker for bait fishing, the bottom. And 3/8 to 1/2 lead head or Carolina for soft baits up to 4".
