Looking for finnesse rod suggestions

Thinking of purchasing a new finesse rod for drop shot and shaky head fishing. Don't really want to break the bank but don't want anything that is too cheap of quality. Just looking for some suggestions on rods to take a look at. Would appreciate any suggestions.

I got to admit, the newer Phenix finesse rods are incredible! Incredibly sensitive and not too high either.

x2 and the 702 is also a good choice.

Check out the Fred's Power Finesse Rod by IRod. Low priced and awesome rod!

Gloomis NRX or GLX drop shot or finesse rods. You'll never think of using another rod after having used one for a day.

Yeah, unfortunately the G Loomis rods aren't cheaper, but you can't beat the DSR822... it is by far my favorite finesse rod with a great taper and excellent sensitivity.
