I would definitly go with a 7' or longer. I have several of the Compre's and one Pete Mania. For lower end rods, both are very good choices.

You'll love that C4. I have one on a BPS 7' heavy action and plan to up that to a 7' compre or st croix soon. haven't had any trouble out of the BPS so far though and for the money ($30) if I snap it off in the truck bed then I haven't lost much. (Im rough on rods)
Shimano also makes a Sojourn muskie rod you can get for about $45 and i think the convergence starts at around $60 if you dont want to spring for the $100 plus compre or more than that for a good st croix
Have had great luck w/St Croix Premiers. The PM76MHF is one of my "must haves." The PM70MHF has same specs in slightly shorter rod.
