Is the tip soft enough to load up with a 3/8 oz jig?

I like to skip 3/8 oz jigs under docks and around laydowns. Anyone have a suggestion for a stout baitcasting rod that's 6'8", 6'9" or 6'10" ? My 6'9" Veritas isn't strong enough when I hook a good one way up under docks with pilings for support. I get lots of bites and some really big ones but Im struggling getting them out to open water.
