SWVA

Been using this one for similar uses that you describe and don’t want for anything else.
 
Loomis SJR 781 6’6” Light/fast.  Stradivarius 2500, 15lb PP and 5-8lb mono leader.
 
I throw a ton of 1/8 oz jigs on this rod.  Before I used an IMX mag-light that I loved, but it was only 6’ and I wanted a little more length.
 
I’ve liked the light and ML IMX spinning rods for a long time, and have picked a bunch up used, but in great shape for $150 or so.
 
Sadly after 20 years I’m moving away from Shimano and Loomis rods due to their warranty being a joke now.
