So the past couple of days i have had a lot of time on my hands since i couldnt go fish and i was researching some new casting rods and ive narrowed down to 3 if i could get any input this would be greatly appreciated. The 3 rods im looking at are 1. St. Croix Mojo Bass 7ft medhvy 2. E21 Carrot stix micro guide 7ft medhvy 3. Wright & Mcgills skeet reese signature series jig/worm 7'2"
I hope this helps a little, I have the St Croix medium action 7' baitcast recommended use is for plastics, I use mine for plastic and spinnerbaits up to 1/2, works great...
I have the Skeet Reese crankbait rod 7' medium action and this rod is better than I expected. I know I'm not answering your exact question but I hope it helps a little bit. The issue w/ Skeet's rods is I can't stand him, and with the bright yellow rod everyone knows it's his...
I have not used the Carrot Sticks at all...
I'm not sure what your needs are...Good luck!!!

Shawn, why do you wish it were 7 feet? For better flipping distance with the jig?
Fishing from a kayak I find that 6'6" is pretty much ideal for open water although I use 7' rods for stripers and blues (but that's a different kayak and different application). I use 5'6" or 6' rods when fishing the narrower parts of the Charles because there is less room to cast and I am frequently passing under overhanging trees.

I have the 7' St Croix medium action it is ideal for plastics and light jigs. It cast great and plenty of leverage to move big fish. If you want to pitch into cover and for throwing large jigs you probaly are better off with the heavier action rod. For the money the rods you're looking at are a great value. If it's possible try the reel your planning on using on the rod so you can feel the weight and balance. Thiswould make the decision easier.
Good luck and tight lines!!!
