It seems that only one of these rods are on your list, BUT......

That sounds like a description of the
Rogue SP 601S. If I had to fish for trout with only one rod, it would be this one. It is extremely light, and it has more spine and a faster action than any other ultra light I've found. At 6 feet, it's shorter than some of the rods you'll read about in this thread, but it's a fish killer. For throwing spinners/spoons, it has no equal. It throws bait well, too.
Recently, I've begun a deep appreciation for my
Lamiglas GS 702 UL. It has a buttery action which tosses minijigs well, and I think is ideal for drop-shotting worms, even though it doesn't throw baits very well. The last time I took it out, I was fishing next to a fellow who was drop-shotting power worms (the same as I), and I was air-mailing him by at least 10 yards. I was using the 702UL with a Quantum Catalyst and Cuda 4#, while he was using a 7'6" GLX 4-weight (custom wrapped as a spinning rod), with a Stella wound with 2# flourocarbon. Lamiglas makes a quality product, and the 702 UL (if you can find one) is a good rod for jigs and a great rod for drop-shotting trout worms.
I just recently purchased it, and due to our weather, haven't fished it yet. BUT......
the
Phenix 80 SRTUL-2 seems to have a similar action to the Lamiglas 702 UL, and at 8 ft., it should increase my range for tossing mini/micro jigs.
