I have a St. Croix EYECON 7' Finesse I bought a couple of years ago. I felt funny buying a walleye rod for crappie, but they don't seem to mind. I use it to cast light jigs for crappie and bluegill. It's light, has nice backbone, and casts the jigs a mile. They're over $100 but I tried a bunch of less expensive rods for casting jigs, and just couldn't find the right one for me. You might want to at least give it a look.
