Go 704, it is a stiffer rod. Unless you prefer a shorter, smaller rod.

Does it have enough tip so you can cast easily? I am done with the pool cue type of rods they tear my elbow up. Thanks for the info,I always hate buying a rod without picking it up and putting a reel on it.

I haven't fished the 663, but being that it's a 3 power rod, yes the tip will load easily.

The 3/4 power rods are far from a pool cue, at least up to 7'3. I know the 763/764 are more powerful but I don't have any personal experience with them.

What worms do you plan on throwing: senkos, trick worms, etc? Fishing them weightless or t-rigged (with what weight)? What cover will you be fishing in? We'll need to know more before anyone can recommend the right rod for you. A general rule of thumb would be a 3 power for mostly 3/8oz (total weight) and under, moving up to a 4 power for mostly 1/2oz and over. There is a lot of overlap between the two powers so you can go up/down depending on cover, weight etc. I think a 3 power rod would suit most light t-rigged worm fishing best, assuming there is light to no cover. I would also recommend moving up to the 703 or 733...the longer rods provide more advantages than disadvantages IMO.
