Picking a finesse rod.

[keithdog]

I've always been a run and shoot type of fisherman. But I'm thinking of giving finesse fishing more consideration this year when things get tough. I already have a spinning reel that I think will work very well. But I need a rod to go with it. I'm not so much asking which brand and model, although that may help, but rather I'm wanting to be sure of the right build of rod for finesse fishing, such as using a shaky head with a 1/8 or 3/16 oz jighead for example. I was thinking a 6'3" graphite spinning rod with a medium action and fast tip would be about right. But maybe I should go with a medium light action rod. I saw a rod advertised as a finesse rod and it had an extra fast tip with a medium action blank. So I thought I would see what action and length rods you guys who fish with shaky heads and other finesse techniques use.
