Vanford c2000 something, depends on what gear ratio you want. Same size and weight as 1000, a bigger and deeper spool gives you more lines and better casting distance.

I have the Legend Elite 7'6 MLXF-2pieces, an amazing rod for finesse. I usually have a Vanford 2000 on it, a light setup, and use it for drop shot and Senko, sometimes small swimbait. It has a weird sensitivity; the tip is softer than I expected, but you do feel every subtle bite, and when you have a fish on, it will stick with the fish very well. I guess it will never break, the rod is sensitive enough with good flexibility. I also have a Megabass Destroyer P5 F3-610X Bait Finesse, it's a 6'10 ML Fast to Regular 1 piece rod. And sometimes I will put on a drop shot, it has a very direct sensitivity and bites & touches feel "amplified". The whole rod is pretty stiff, especially its tip, which adds more sensitivity but doesn't engage that well when you have a fish on. Fast action could be a reason though...? I do worry about breaking my rod if I had a big fish, it's a bit too stiff. When I'm on my Legend Elite it gives me much more confidence, like I know it can bend more, but on Megabass it's like "Please don't break, I can't tell what's your limit but it doesn't feel very high." Or maybe I'm still not used to it. I only do bank fishing, 7'6 length gives me a better casting distance. 2-pieces design doesn't affect its performance at all. If you want a finesse killing stick, go Legend Elite. If you want extreme sensitivity, you should check out Megabass rods like F3-611XS Landsat. You can find them on sale on some JDM websites, I got mine at $250, shipped from Japan.
