    I'd use both for Flipping and pitching. The first for more open water with 20 lb sniper floro the second for brush with 25 lb floro

    The 6’8” rod sounds like a good spinnerbait/chatterbait/swimbait rod when around cover. Short rods cast more accurately.

    7’6” looks like a good flipping rod of a Carolina rig rod. Or an open water swimbait rod.

    The 6-8 could also be a good square bill or larger 100 size jerk bait rod. Depending on how stiff the 7-6 actually is,it might be ok for deep cranking. I have two old Diawa flipping sticks that I think are too soft for flipping but are good cranking rods.

    Both rods sound like moving bait rods based on the action.

    I agree with that too. It’s hard to say exactly without feeling them though.

    6'8" would make a good jerbait rod.
    7'6" would be a good chatterbait/spinnerbait rod
