KC-

I'd avoid the 2 power spinnerbait rod and generally 2 power in any loomis rod if you start at 1/2oz and go up.

How fast are you working the blades? If I'm burning blades, I'd consider a crankbait series rod like the CBR845. I have a custom built 847 that is great for 3/4oz bladed burned just under the surface.

Loomis makes some very nice rods and I have fished or own many of them. A few standout in order of my preference.

BCR 803 GLX- best t-rig and jig rod I have ever fished hands down, good for slow rolling blades as well. Faster action and more power then a 3 power in the MBR series.

MBR842 GLX- a 2.5 power rod. Killer for shakey head worms, blades less then 5/8oz, buzzbaits and finesse jigs. A real standout and not in very wide distribution.

BSR 852 GLX- simply the best finesse rod. If something somewhere is better, I want to fish it. 4 and 5 inch senkos, drop shot, shakey head worm. Very light tip with lots of backbone. I have a few rods with equaly as light tips but they don't have 1/2 the backbone.

MBR 783- seems you know that one

MBR 844 GLX- Jigs, C-Rigs, Buzzbaits, Frogs, big blades. Much more versitle then one might select.

The bronzeback rod I want to fish is the 4 powered crankbait rod but I read a review saying it was a good medium depth crankbait rod which would likely make it lack power for say a 3/4oz blade.

Best of luck! Go Cabelas! Love that store and the points program.
