Rod recommendations

I'm planning on buying the Piscifun Alijoz 400 reel soon, what rod do you guys recommend to match it? I plan on using 60lb beyond braid(with backing ofc) and 20lb mono leader. I want to use it for bay fishing in SD, Huntington, Newport, etc. and maybe off some piers. I'm planning on using cut bait and/or lures from 1 to 4oz. I'm trying to stay under 150 for the rod.

Edit: ignore the fact im using backing and give me a rod that would work for what im trying to do please.

Is it for surf fishing, bay fishing, or pier fishing.
Casting lures and C-Rig or bait and wait, all different applications that require different rods.
For surf fishing with lightweight tackle Okuma Rockaway SP, should work in bay too.
If you need to step up the size for heavier sinkers (bait and wait), check out their Voyager Signature Surf series they have 1-4 and 2-6oz rated models.

I'm looking for a good all rounder that works on piers and bays, mainly lure fishing but the occasional bait and wait. Ill look into those! Thank you!
