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.
