Thanks Mike. Let me check a few other things and I'll get back to you if I want that one.

Would the Loomis or the Lamis throw bombers (5501 abu and 14# fireline), or is that a stretch? I know the lami ssu108 2L is rated 3/8 to 2 oz, another option, or still going to be on the light side for moving water. I'm getting the impression that a rod rated less than 1-3 oz might be pushing it for moving water. Would be nice to be able to throw 1/2 oz jigs, bombers, and the 1 - 1 1/2 oz metal lips and pencils with the same rod, but bringing a lighter rod that I already have for throwing the lighter stuff would be an option. If I'm throwing small jigs, the current is not moving as fast.
