What is the best action/weight to use for a senko rod?

I've been really pleased with the Shimano Cumara 7'2 MH Jig/Worm Rod. This is the first year I've owned the rod, and I bought it specifically for fishing senkos and light t-rigs. I had a chance to fight a 6.5 pounder in the timber not too long ago and it handled every aspect perfectly. I was able to pitch a weightless wacky senko, the thump felt like a train had run into my bait, and I felt like I had control of the fish throughout. I've fished some of the other light worms on a split shot and t-rig with it and it works well with those also.

I really like the Falcon Cara finesse jig rod. Very versatile great for weightless, light t-rig, shakyhead, etc.

I use a Powell Max 704 for a senko tx. rigged weightless and a Powell Max 703 for throwing it wacky rigged.

7'3"MH kistler KLX for weightless
7'MH kistler helium for t-rig
I like the mod/fast tip on the 7'3" because it loads up nicely when casting the weightless t-rigs

I like the DX 703 C. I use this high dollar rod because sometimes a senko bite is very faint.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

Medium, mod. fast. Originally planned to use the rod for cranking, but it was a little whippy. So, I use it for weightless t-rig: Flukes or Senkos. Seems to work well, I don't fish it in heavy cover that way, but it loads nicely for a good long cast, and imparts the action I want to put on the bait. I am probably wrong, but it works (so far)!

I like a 7'3" MH Fast with 15# floro paired with a 7:1/1 reel, I can cast a weightless senko or fluke a long way, move a lot of line for a good hook set and pick up line in a hurry if the fish is coming back at the boat.
