Surf or Long beach rod recommendations??

[The Quadfather]

I need a new surf rod, and I am standing in OE, and of course they are out any rod that will accomodate what I need.
( 1.5 hr traffic to get here, Uhg!)

Curious for any input from any of you.
Does not have to be a "True Surf rod"-- whatever that means, but it should be able throw 3-4 oz. and i prefer around 9'.

Spinning rod.....---- reel is Penn 7500 SS. Fairly large reel seat, so my Okuma SST drift rod won't accomodate the large Penn.
$75.00-150.00 range. None of the Ugly Sticks here fit the Penn as well.
Thanks for any input.

I picked up the Cabela's version of the Ugly Stick called a Whuppin stick Surf rod for Mexico. About $90, Lure weight 1-8oz, line weight 15-40. I've used it for beach casting for salmon and surf perch, it is a little heavy for those but gets the job done (and would hold your reel).

Thanks Gringo. Maybe I'll take a trip up there. I know that Okuma makes another SST rod that is rated up to 4 oz. I like their drift SST rod. I was just surprised that OE left me hanging.

if you cant find anything locally, might check out the penn site. pretty sure you're reel will fit these rods and the prices ain't too bad either

Thanks Spokey9. I will take a close look at the Penn rods. I am putting a trip together for the Westport Jetty, beach, etc.

The TFO surf rods are excellent. I run the 10'6" mag when I'm chucking live greenling and the light for bait on the jetty. They're awesome.
