I use a SC Avid 6'2" MXF.  It's roughly an inch or two shorter from the reel seat to the tip than a 6'6" rod, but has a shorter rear grip.  Makes easy to walk the dog.

I use to use this exact rod until I broke it. DOH!! worked really well. I prefer the reel seat on the avid x though.

DVT Mike can make you one for a reasonable price. 

J Franco, that sounds like a great topwater rod. Part of it for me is the shorter handle grip. It really does make it easier to walk spooks and similar baits, and Im sure would work great for other baits as well
