I've never fished the agawam but if you have room to cast - meaning no trees or bushes on the shoreline behind you - take a look at Salmon/Steelhead rods. I personally love the St Croix avid series 9ft MH. I use a Quantum Cabo 40 with 20 lb suffix braid. St Croix just came out with a heavy action that is rated to 25lb test and 2 ounce lures which I think would make a decent rod for both schoolie action and beach fishing for larger fish where structure (like rocks lobster traps etc) is not an issue and you have room to play the fish.

The nice thing about the salmon/steelhead rods is casting distance factor. You stick a 1/2 - 1 ounce Kast master on 20 lb braid on the above set up and you would be very suprised how far you can launch it and you can still cast weightless rubber fairly well which is good for albies.
