Kings from Shore

Hello guys. I'm from SW PA and would like to come up to NY and fish for kings this fall. I fish for steelies in Erie every year, but I don't think that my steelhead set up will handle a big king. So, I'm looking into buying a new rod and reel. I think that I found the rod that I want. Only I don't know wheather to get the medium action or the medium heavy. This is the rod: OKUMA CLASSIC PRO GLT SALMON SERIES CP-C-902M ROD (med) or OKUMA CLASSIC PRO GLT SALMON SERIES CP-C-902MH (medium heavy). I'll probably be fishing from shore, so any opinions on these rods will be appreciated. Also, I am a diehard Pflueger fan. So for a reel, I'd like to use a Pflueger. All I have now are Trions and Gold Medalist Pros. What model of Pflueger would be best for Salmon? I'm not even sure how heavy I should go with the line. This will be my first trip up shore fishing so any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
