Berkley lightning rod best for $40?

I mainly fish for b (large and small mouth)and sometimes walleye when i can get them. I had a Berkley rod mh 6 ft that i snapped because of anger, I know they are very strong and sensitive. Is there a better rod out there at b pro for like 40- 50 bucks. I was thinking shimano volaetus, but have doubts about weight and sensitivity? It would have to be pretty good cuz i luved my lightning rod and also what would the big difference in terms of use between a seven footer and 6 footer?
