A batson 967 makes a nice 8 footer for what you describe. Also there are some batson graphite/glass composite rods at 7 feet long that would be good for what you are doing. I think its called a 70 M. I would call Mike T (Capecodtackle.com) and see if he has any in the shop you can look at.

The good news is both blanks are fairly inexpensive leaving you plenty of money to buy a calcutta (400??) or 6500 ABU reel.
