    If you are going to use it primarily as a casting rod (& not for bobber fishing), then you might want to look at the 6' ESP PowerLite or even the 6'6" ESP PowerLite. Both have the same length of rod blank past the front of the handle, as the only difference between them is the 6'6" ESP PowerLite has an extended handle (split handle or poodle tail as I like to call it) that's the 6" length difference. High Modulus Graphite blank & handle (Tenn style with ring grips), micro guides, very fast action tip, and metallic discs around the blank inside the handle (to transmit vibrations for more "sensitivity").
    Best online price deal I know of is at Grizzly Jigs (see online catalog for availability & prices).

    I use the 6'6" ESP PowerLite rod for most of my casting & dock shooting. I was given the rod by the VP of Marketing at Norsemen Outdoors, for field testing, and liked it so much that it led me to retire a couple of my other rods to "backup or guest rod" status.

    Go with the B n' M SHSS mentioned by "G" above. It's a 7' model, but those few extra inches will only endear you to it more.

    best I ever touched is an older Tica …..nothing comes close to it I ever held
    don't know about the new models but for sure the old I got is all that
    but I have a 5.5 Lews that's pretty darn nice
    and about several other rods in that general length I like as well .
    the Shakespere gx2 aint bad for an inexpensive combo
    and the list goes on

    Cadence CS5 6' like Richard Gene uses. Great rod, around $50.

    I just got a TICA trout rod in light action, it seems like it's going to be a great rod, weights nothing and looks very nice. The action seems just right for flicking jigs.

    I'll back what Crappiepappy says. A client left me that rod for a tip. Best Rod I've ever used, well worth the price which is quite reasonable considering the quality.
