Depends what you are fishing for. What reel are you going to pair it with? If you are going to pair it with a baitcaster consider the m1 Inshore as well, they are available from 7'4" up to I think 9'. They make a variety of rods in the M1 series. I paired mine (8'2" 20-45#) with a tranx 400HG and it works great for lighter irons i.e. everything tady 45 and lighter. Its actually rated up to an 8oz lure but I don't think I would throw anything heavy with that.
