Aloha Gerhard,
If you are looking for a land based GT rod, I might suggest trying to find something heavier than the 106N. I've built a couple of these rods, and they are just super noodley for GT fishing. United Composites is back up and running; their UC 100XH and 100XXH are tremendously more powerful than the 106N.
I only suggest this because I know a bunch of guys who have bought the 106N, and have been really disappointed with how light and soft the action was.
Best wishes on the shoreline GT hunting!!!
Aloha
