Check out Dixie Custom rods.
I use the Falcon LowRider Shakey Head jig rod. I know you asked for the power etc, but I'm not sure how they rate it. I like it so much I bought a second one as a dedicated drop shot rod.

I use a Lew's inshore 6'9" ( MHI69C ), just right, short enough to use accurately around docks, fast tip and plenty of backbone for good hook sets.

An Khe 66-67
6'10" Mag-Med
That is what i use. The Loomis 822S SYR is a fine rod.
Dobyns Savvy (Sierra now) 703SF. One of my absolute favorite rods and priced well, too. I also use it for Senkos (wacky and Texas) and enjoy it just as much for those techniques.
