Other models I really like are the 6'10" finesse jig (great fluke/senko and lighter t-rig rod), and of course, the Cara Amistad for the heavier stuff. Another one worth looking at if you want to stay at 7' would be the Cara Lizard Dragger 1.

A 5 will have a softer tip, a 6 will be more stiff and a 7 is considered a heavy action. www.TuffSkinz.net www.basscat.com �It�s all in your head. It doesn�t matter if your 6 or 60.
