I'l looking to trade off the spin and pick-up a 108 1L for the reasons you posted (lighter lures, bucktails, etc) and I would also consider something in the 8` range.
The 108 1Ms are really nice for eels and plugs in the 2oz and up range, but I'm looking for a "lighter rod"

If you want lighter the glb 961mh is great. The 1081m is not a bear by any means, but the 961mh is even lighter and I like it much better for smaller bucktails, sluggos, yozuri darters, red fins, 1oz little neck poppers and alot of the other lures I fish. I have landed several 35lb range fish in the rivers here in the spring on it. I almost never fish my 1081m anymore since if I am throwing rigged eels, bigger lures or need even more backbone, I go to my 1205 cut to 9 1/2. For Matt's purposes, the 1081m is a great choice. If you have a 1081m, but actually want lighter and smaller spinner, but still strong enough for big fish, the 961mh is ideal.
