Would you offer some suggestions for a light-weight, sensitive, strong Carolina Rig rod? I'm willing to spend up to about $250, maybe a little more if necessary.

Dobyns - 804(Carolina rig specific), 784 & Extreme 795flip (7'9 MH) are three great options and they are all lightweight with a good parabolic action... I like the 7'9-8ft rods because they pick up a lot of line when you set the hook and you have more overall leverage on controlling a fish.
Falcon - Cara Carolina (7'6 H) - is a lightweight rod that I liked as well, buuut it's laying on the bottom of Lake Ray Hubbard as of a couple of years ago.
I'm sure you'll get plenty of other good opinions to choose from as well.. Good luck!

Dobyns Extreme 784 is my all time favorite followed by a Kister Helium 7-6 H.
I haven't tried the Dobyns 804 because I already have two 784's and they work very well.
I have heard others talking about the 784 being their favorite for flutter spoons and football head jigs as well.
