You need something light like GS mentioned (rated about 1/2 OZ to 2 or 2.5) . You will be tossing some light jigs , rubber , and lighter plugs. For the other rod , you need something that will not break just lifting the live bait which I assume will be mostly herring. You don'yt have to cast the herring far like a surfcaster but you got to be able to lift it out of the water without worrying about breaking the rod. Something rated to cast about 4 to 6 OZ is probably good for your livelining and chunking. For some people , chunking means a clam. For some it means half a pogie. So I guess you need to chose the rod based on its ability to be used for livelining and it should be ok for most chunking.
