Got 2 6500oc but boat fishing.
Not up on shore fishing. Suggest to head to your loacal fish gear supplier.. Smart Marine  or Hunting and Fishing  and have a chat with the guys there.

I have a couple of 6500B'S, don't be afraid to spool yours with braid! I have two 6500B's and a Thunnus spooled with braid to match my rods, they work very well! Very good casting distance. However, from your question ""mainly fish from rocks wharf n beach"""
Which will you be doing, because you may need a different line weight for whichever rod you are using, for the rod that you choose, specific to "rocks", "'wharf"" or "beach"'
It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing, by people who can't fish.

Have a look at daiwa sensor sandstorm 10ft6 6-12 kg, a bit expensive tho, or cheaper daiwa Laguna x braiding 12ft.
Put 8kg lostretch and your away. The sensor sandstorm is really light weight,you can hold it strayline style all day. Even 10ft ugly stick would do it .
