I have mine on a Penn International VS5010TS60 6’0” rod. I have never liked the idea of roller guides mixed with sand so this International has Pac Bay turbo guides all the way to the tip. I use mine exclusively for land based shark fishing and have been very impressed with the quality for an off-the-shelf rod at this price point. I also have the same rod matched with a 12/0 that gets used a lot more often. Spooled with straight 100# Sufix on both, but added a 200 yard topshot of 130# on the 14/0 for added power during the last few minutes of the fight.
Here's the 12/0 on said rod-the 14/0 is still on loan from the Blacktip Challenge.

I believe there are a few select spots where it's legal to fish for sharks in the Fort Morgan area, not exactly sure where though. I'm sure Dutch can help you out.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
