Weight has to come into play.
Look for a rod with a solid mid section for hooksets and a fast tip. Something in the line of MH/F should work for most of them.
I prefer a 7'3" rod but that is my sweet spot on rod lengths.
I use a Dobyns Sierra 734 for them.

I would agree but my sweet spot is 6'9" to 7 foot.

Old Fishermen never die, their rods just go limp.

Another one for MH Fast, you're going to need to pull a hook through plastic and into a bass, generally a big hook at that so you'll need power.

Now watch on the MH power as one companies MH could be anothers heavy or ML.
They are all not the same.
