I have 2 GSB 108 1Ms (spin and conventional).
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"
