I just picked up a BnM Bucks GraphitenJig pole last month and love it. I can cast a 1/32 oz jig head quite far, much farther than I ever could with my medium action. Id consider it an ultralight, 8ft rod, probably a fast tip in my opinion. Paired it with a Pflueger President 6925 reel. Whole setup ran $120 but you could swap out the reel for something else. I think the rod was only $40. A little longer than you wanted but worth it.
