I like slow rods for tog fir the same reasons that Kevin mentions. I also like a composite rod. I have watched too many graphite explode when snagged on a wreck. Using braid with a composite is plenty sensitive enough.

Spiral wrapped rods are excellent for bottom fishing. They have a better fit here than jigging like many use them for.

Many options out there. I like 7'6" myself. It gives me room to find more voids and holes. We have built all kinds but when a customer is asking me to suggest a rod...... composite with a slower taper. Fast tips miss fish for the average fisherman.
Tom, cant agree more "Fast tips miss fish" They already know you are there as soon as you lift up on a fast taper rod.
