Hey guys, wanted an opinion on this. Rod would be flipping 1/2 jigs to docks and casting 3/4 oz football jigs to cover. Don't want one too long as to break it on a hookset if up close to docks but need some backbone and the ability to handle 3/4 oz plus trailer. Kicker is i need to purchase it at gander mountain as i have a gift card. I am between Veritas 7'6" MH, Mojo 7' heavy slop n frog, or an omen heavy (last time i checked they only had a 7'11" heavy. Any opinions?

Ive got a 7'3" Omen heavy thats a fine rod at that price point. More sensitive than a $100 rod should ever be. Stout enough for fishin some serious cover as well.
