Default Fluke spinning rod

Just curious as to what you guys would recommend me for a fluke spinning rod... My rod for the past 5 years, a 6 foot 1 piece Ugly Stik has been discontinued and I haven't been able to find a spare. She was great, light enough to use in 5 feet of water, heavy enough to use 8 ounces, and she even livelined and caught me a 40 lb striper in 2012.... Great rod, caught a lot of really nice fluke. Well worth the 40 bucks at K-Mart

Anyways, I'd like my next rod to be durable with 6 ounces, but still light enough for 2 oz. I prefer 6 1/2 feet over 7 feet, as I can then cast better when on a party boat. I've moved onto more charter boat fishing but I still prefer the shorter rod and will still fish on a party boat half the time anyways. Price isn't really a factor but the cheaper the better... Will pair it with a Penn Battle 3 or 4000.

Thanks for any help. Local baitshops by me weren't stocked too well.
