You don't want a 7'10+ rod for grass. The longer the rod the less leverage you have on the fish and the more leverage the fish has on you. Longer rod gives the fish more leverage on you because he is on the power end of the Fulcrum where as a short rod he is a little closer to the fulcrum. Keep in mind the fulcrum is your hand and the longer end of the lever is on the fishes side of it;) Long rods are for distance, you have more power with a shorter rod with a longer butt section so the fulcrum is further up:) Also a MOD/FAST action is better for grass.

It's a glass composite blank, so it can't be the most light and sensitive.

Money as no object, the most light and sensitive punching rods around are going to be the Steez SVF AGS 8', Poison Glorious Beastmaster or a GLX 896C FPR if you want something shorter.

Fitzgerald Rods. Look at the ockeechobee rod 7'6 H and the Titan series. Best flipping rods on the planet.

powell max 3d. 8ft with tons of power, used it on the delta to pull out bass in hyesin. Its awesome, the extra length pins the fish a little easier

Thanks for all the info guys. I think I'll be going with a 7'6 or 7'11. I am still up in the air on which brand to go with. I kind of have my eye on the Fitzgerald rods but those are a little over the price that I want to spend. I would really like to find something around $100-$120 but will go up to $150. Looking at used rods too.
