Looking for a dedicated worm rod. Have narrowed my choices down to these:
Falcon Lowrider LFC-6-17 H 15 - 25lb. 7'0" (LR Carolina Lizard Dragger) 
Falcon Lowrider LFC-7-17 H 15 - 30 lb. 7'0" (LR Carolina Lizard Dragger II) 
Falcon Lowrider XG LFC-6-166 MH 12 - 25 lb. 6'6"   
Falcon Original  FC-6-166 MH 12 - 25 lb. 6'6"     

These are my current setups:
Berkley Lightning Rod casting 6'6 M Quantam Accurist 15lb Trilene Big Game (worm in light cover)
Berkley Lightning Rod spinning 6'6 M Shimano Sahara 2500 10lb Stren Original (shaky head)
Berkley Lightning Rod spinning 6'6 M Shimano Sahara 2500 12lb Trilene Big Game (weightless senko, floating worm, fluke, drop shot)
Falcon Lowrider XG 4-17 casting  7' M  Shimano Citica 201D 12lb Trilene Big Game (cb, hard jerbait, topwater)
Falcon Original 6-1610 casting  6'10 H Daiwa Procaster 100HL 30lb Sufix braid (jig)
Falcon Original 5-166 casting  6'6" MH Daiwa Procaster 100HL 15lb Trilene Big Game (spinnerbait, buzzbait)
Falcon Original 5-17 casting 7' MH Shimano Cruxis 201 50lb Power Pro braid (frog, c-rig)

Need your help on a worm rod. Baitmonkey is on my back. Thanks.

For me there can be two "worm" rods depending on what size worm I want to throw.  For finess/shakey/senko I like a 6'10" M X-Fast but for everything else I like a 6'10" MH Fast.  I love the G-Blanks rods and they're right on par with the Lowrider/Crucial price range.  I'd take the Crucial 6'10" MH X-Fast over the Lowrider for worming though.
If you build a ramp...I will come...

rig, the Carolina Lizard Dragger would be a good choice-I use one for my C-rig rod and love it.  You could get dual purpose out of that one, T-rig and C-rig.  For smaller T-rigs I use a Low Rider LFC-5-166.  6-6 MH.  Come to think of it, I use that rod for spinnerbaits, too.  I don't think you cn go wrong with a Low Rider.
