The eyecon would be a good choice. A little higher end would be the avids. BP walleye series are decent as well.

I use the 7ft. Eyecon for rigging. Works great. I drag floaters and hooks.

I've never felt the need for the 7'6".

Shimano crucial 7'2" drop shot rod works awsome for lindy rigging.

I have a 7'6" Avid and a 7'2" Crucial and I actually find myself using the Crucial more. The tip is just a little bit softer than the Avid and for me that seems to work better.
