I just picked up a Zodias 7' M on a warranty for my 6'8" Cumara. I have it paired with a Ci4 2500 and really like the setup so far. the rod is crisp and sensitive. I think it is going to be a winner. 

I just figured I'd post and say the zodias rod came in today.  I must say that this is a good looking, very light weight rod that feels good in my hand. Now if that reel will hurry and come I cant wait to take it out fishing. Thank you all for the advice. I really appreciate it!

A buddy is pairing his ci4+ with a Shimano Zodias 7ft medium heavy. He loves it, I have not held it or fished it so can't be certain, but he raves about it. Kind of a st Croix fan myself. 

That's a terrific reel. It'll match up with most bass rods. Pretty much anything but a 7' 6" MH. In that case, it'd feel a little small.
