9ft is the standard all around size for plugs.eels,jetty fishing and the surf those 12ft jobs have unneeded hight to them it gets in the way most of the time. i am 5'11 and weigh 200lbs so 9ft will be good for you as well. a 8ft rod is limiting in most areas. ugly stick will get you by but a nice light tica or tsunami cant be beat for the $$.
