I am looking for a short casting rod, under 6'6", what most people would consider either a stout medium or weak MH, and a fast to moderate fast tip.

ugly stick maybe lol

St. Croix Avid 6'3 Med. X Fast comes to mind. It might have a faster action tip, but is not stiff like other X Fast actions. I'd call it a "mod/fast tip" that loads up real quick.

I also think Shimano makes a 6'3 Med. Fast action Crucial.

Looking for a good jerkbait rod are ya?

You could have one made for you or make it yourself.  You could buy a blank and cut it to whatever length/action that you prefer. 

If you diy, the cost is not much more than a production rod.

Just a thought.   

All Star and G Loomis both used to make a 6' one.  I don't know if they are still available.  Do a search on Ebay.

Yep.  Looking for a close quarters jerkbait/topwater rod.

I used to have an old All Star (the grey ones) that I believe was dubbed as a "Spinnerbait" rod.  It was EXACTLY the power and action I am looking for except it was 6'9".

As a couple have mentioned, I might just have to get one made.

Loomis has a 5 1/2 foot MH in the Mossyback serires. I have one and love it for real close quarters precision work.

Look around for an All Star BCM6. It's 6' medium. It's an older All Star model but will be exactly what you're looking for and you can probably get it cheap if you find one.

In addition to the rods already mentioned, All Star still has a 6' and 6'4" MH. St. Croix Premier 6' MH. Team Daiwa-S Bass 6'3" MH. Shimano Compre 6" MH.  Falcon LowRider 6' MH. Probably others. You'd have to read-up to check the tips on these and I can't say whether these MH rods are "light" MH.

The 6'4" All Star and the 6'3" Daiwa might be good candidates.

Steez makes a 6'3.  Rod weighs nothing and it makes surgery precise casts.

Ive been looking for that rod too, for skipping under docks for snook.  Pairing it with a CI4 4000.  I think I found it in a Temple Fork Outfitters MH. They come 6'6" and 6'. Construction looks ok, basic but it has TFO's warranty which has been very good to me fly gear wise.

I have a 6' MHF rod I"ll give to you if you pay shipping. It would be a great jerkbait rod.

BPS is clearing out there Johnny Morris Extreme rods.  They make a 6'3 M with a fast tip rod with recoil guides.  This is an awesome rod.  They retailed for $199 but can be found on clearance for a little over $100 if you can find one.  Great rod.

I have one of those TFO rods.. They are severely underrated and underpriced(Which Im okay with)  :o
