Rod Lengths and Actions

[LouisianaLonghorn]

I am in need of some SaltyCajun advice. I've mostly fished freshwater for many years, but in the last three or four years I have begun to venture more regularly into the salt...I am wanting to get some tackle (rods and reels) that are more specifically suited to inshore fishing. I was wondering what rod lengths and actions do y'all use mostly? I was thinking from what I have seen it's usually medium to medium-light...is that right? I have fished Big Lake numerous times and also Grand Isle and Hopedale...just so you kind of have an idea of the type of fishing that I do.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated....LL
