You have a top quality reel and a high quality rod would make sense to bolt it to, but there is a lot of variables between casting a light piper to, a popper with different requirements again if working a stickbait, and even more to consider if it is primarily a rock based set up. 

For poppers you want a stiffer tip to work the larger lures, for stick baits you want a more flexible tip and mid section to help work the lure better. But as Falco says if you are trying to haul a king out of some weeds whilst keeping the line off rocks in the way an out an out stick bait rod aint probably the way to go.

My first casting rod was a T - curve and that'll do would do what you want it to. Then again the next upgrade was to a Smith 80P/35 and that does it better except it was only a b student at stickbaits. It is also 8' long and I prefer the extra length.

 

I have a 7'8 rod that casts 70g baits around 90m pretty easy so maybe you dont have to go 8'6? a rod that long specifically built for casting is possibly going to be more suited to stickbaits than poppers.

Having said that I only have one casting setup and I work a wide range of S/baits and poppers,while not as good as perhaps two dedicated set-up's well enough to catch my share.

 

Beware to that a soft tip stickbait rod may not have the action to punich fish that are out in front of you while your on the bricks.

 

Google Landbased GT rods,shore jigging,shore casting and see what comes up... 

 

Perhaps custom built will be money well spent.

I'd suggest the Smiths GTK74PG as a compromise.
