I use several rods. If I have a long leader I want a longer rod (7'6" or 7'10") heavy action fast tip ... just easier for me to throw for distance.(I got alligator arms). If I am fishing shallow, light weight, short leaders ... sorta finesse CR if you will, I'll use a 6'10" MH fast with 15 fluoro leader always. Main line is 50 lb braid.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

Gonna get myself a designated c-rig set up but haven't thrown it before. Great idea but try this approach instead... Take your longest, stiffest available rod and set up a Carolina rig with either braid or fluorocarbon main line and either mono or fluorocarbon leader. Try it. Get a feel for it. Try the other line options. THEN, when you have a feel for it, get yourself a designated c-rig set up. You may discover that your c-rig rod can double-duty as a frog rod, a flipping rod, a jig rod or a tx-rig rod. ^^^^ X2.....If you already have a frog rod, or a heavy action rod with a fast tip, you are already in the game for using it as a C-Rig rod

I have a Veritas 7'6" frog series with 50# braid. It doubles as a C rig and frog rod. It's a MH rod with a little more tip and a bit more parabolic bend than the standard 7'6" MH. It's only $100 and your getting double duty out of it. If you want to through a lighter Crig then use your standard worm rod with a mojo rig. It's basically a c rig but instead of a swivel and leader you peg a smaller cylindrical weight a foot or two above your worm. Still lighter you can use your shakey head/finesse rod with a split shot rig. Pinch a small split shot a few inches to a foot or so above your worm and drag it along slow.
