Rod suggestions? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

What specs do folks suggest for a rod for YT/WSB/Halibut/rockfish/Lingcod?

(Yes, I just listed a whole bunch of different fish there, but if you could only have one rod to target any of those).

Length? Line weight? Action?

I would be using it both from the kayak and occasionally at Las Islas Coronados from friends' small boats.

Currently my heaviest rod has action that is too light and I usually borrow a buddy's when I am fishing outside of the bays.

Any thoughts on the Penn Mariner rods? They seem reasonably priced. I'm looking for something solid that will do the work. I don't need to have the fanciest (most expensive) rod on the block.
