I agree with crosbystick. However, most people like to go with a 6' 6" rod. Which ever length I use, I always have a medium light action with a fast tip. You get good feel when pitching jigs but still have enough backbone for casting cranks. Just my opinion.

7 foot ML just the fast tip however but it will depend on jig wt and style fishing. For pitching I like the 7'6" ML fast

I like a longer rod for bobbering. Maybe 7'6" to 8' ML and a medium tip. Length for a sweeping hook set. No need to spend that kind of money for a slip bobbering rod.

If you are going to be pitching or casting jigs go with the TWS70MLF if you are going to be vertical jigging go with the TWS68MXF. They will all do fine for slip bobbering. The TWS68MXF is also a great rod for casting shad raps or stickbaits.
