Eben-

Is the "sponginess" of your GSB the progressive taper you were telling me about?

I guess I just like the feel of the St. Croix Avid-type tapers that are stiffer than those that flex way down near the reel seat. Even the Arra 1083 I have is more of a tip-flex taper.

So I guess what you're all kindof saying is that the XS10MS/GSB1202L has the taper that flexes down towards the reel seat like my Ben Doerr.
