2nd on the 6'8" MF, but i'm going to say the St.Croix Mojo Bass wacky rod. I throw poppers,spooks,jerkbaits. Plus wacky and the rest of my worming needs. Very versatile rod. I'm not throwing a jig on anything but a baitcaster and 7-7'2" MHF rod. #3 I would be using a 7' MM and baitcaster out of preference. However my gf catches plenty of bass throwing a 1.5 on a 6' UL BPS rod. Also 2nd the 1500 Daiwa BG! Solid reel for the money.
