Finesse rod upgrade

Looking for recommendations on a finesse rod to upgrade into for mostly estuary fishing, almost exclusively land based from banks or on flats. Mostly for fishing with soft plastics and flicking some other light lures under 10g so looking for good sensitivity and casting distance.

Current contenders are:

-Daiwa 26 infeet sk: 762L + XS

-Shimano Zodius 7’ 6”

Would love thoughts on the contenders or any other rod recommendations I might be overlooking in the quality/price range.
