Rigging / Jigging rod recommendations-Avid? Loomis? Fenwick?

[CrappiesNeyes]

I am in the market for a Rigging / Jigging rod in the $130-$180 price range. I was thinking a 7ft rod with Medium or Medium Light power and a fast tip but please let me know if you prefer something else.Here are some of the rods that I've looked at.

St Croix Avid

Fenwick HMG

G-Loomis Gl2

Gary Roach "Mr Walleye" series

Cabelas Xml series

I know that Shimano, Gander,and other companies also make good rods. Please let me know what you have tried and any likes/dislikes you may have. Thanks in advance. CNE

personally I like my 6'6" Fenwick HMG medium/light rod with a flueger president reel. I kinda find it hard to top this for the price you pay. Just my opinion. I use 6lb flurocarbon line on it and i have no problem bringing in the eye's.
