I would recommend an 8 footer for you based on age and size. Something that will handle about 3/4 to 3 OZ. Its all about timing , not length and strength. until you can get the timing and good rythm down with a shorter rod , you are wasting your efforts on a big rod.

A good caster will outcast you every time with the 8 footer compared to you with the 12 footer if you can't handle it.
