I appreciate the detailed response. To answer your question I don't often burn spinnerbaits unless fishing shallow. I am pretty big into slow rolling them along the bottom -- ie night fishing this time of year. I would probably also use this rod some for buzz baits, tubes, and possibly jig fishing but slow rolling spinners would be the number uno. That 3 power SBR rod I think is the one I am leaning towards at this time. I know what you mean about 2 power and casting rods -- a little on the light side for most casting rod scenarios for me even though as fast as a 2 power GLX is that would be pretty sweet for smaller presentations.

You have a killer list with all of those GLXs -- so far I haven't stepped up to the GLXs just yet. My Loomy harem is mostly GL3 class rods with a couple of IMXs and GL2s sprinkled in. When I first started this lust for another Loomy rod I thought I might just buy another MBR783 but I have this thing about buying two of the same rod. The only 2 Loomies I have the same in my whole harem are 2 SJR700s -- awesome mag-light creek rod and crappie jig fish rod. When fishing with my son we would fight over the one so I had to buy another! That is also one of my future Loomy lusts - is one of those mag-light shakey head rods that are longer and a bit more stout than the SJR700. I tend to use spinning tackle for my finesse fishing rather than casting so most of my Loomy harem swings the reels below.

Well I am headed to BassPro tomorrow night to further confuse and tease myself and hold a few of the beauties if only for a while. In the end I will propose to one and add her to my harem (complements of Cabelas)! Thanks all for the info. It has been a while since I have gotten out on the lake and add a new Loomy to that thought I probably won't be able to sleep all week anticipating!!! I can't wait to feel that first "thump" on my new Loomy beauty!
