If you can find one, a St Croix Mojo 10'6" in length and rated 2-6 oz is an excellent all-purpose Canal rod. Costs $240 which is a good $100-$150 less than a custom built on a 126 1MH blank.
It has plenty of backbone. It isn't as good a jigging rod as a 1209, and it isn't as good a plugging rod as an Arra 1322, but for having one rod that can throw plugs to 4 oz and jigs to 5 oz, and fight a decent fish in current, you can't beat it. Even the stock reel seat placement is ideal for me. $240 for a rod that can serve both purposes, as opposed to $350 or so for a 1322 and $280 for a 1209, from CMS.
You're way undergunned with a 6000 size Shimano reel, too.
