Sorry it took me this long to reply,6'6" medium/heavy power fast action would be my suggestion.I can whip weightless 6" senkos a mile.What I have right now is a St. Croix Premier rigged with a Shimano Symetre.It has pulled in many 2-4 lb smallies,and 1 8lb large mouth.
Alot will depend on what size/type line you are using also.
Hope this helps,
